our  coniiiry  have  of  late  years  become  generally  familiar.  When  the  spirit  ol  adveniurc  had 
extended  the  American  commerce  beyond  the  capes  of  cither  continent,  what  wu-  beiore  use- 
ful, became  then  indispensibly  necessary,  tliat  Navigation  shoi.ld  be  taught  as  a  science  to  the 
conductors  of  our  merchantmen,  and  it  was  soon  no  uncimimiin  spelcacle  to  behold  the  Ame- 
rican Eagle,  lately  unused  to  scientific  restraint,  shaping  his  course  ihrouuh  loreign  climes  by 
the  rules  of  geometry.  The  Charts  and  marine  directions  with  which  foreign  cnnniries  abound, 
have  also  rendered  the  profession  of  the  sea  less  dangerous  and  more  piofilable  1  lice  povir- 
crful  aids  have  almost  everywhere  been  cctended  to  the  protection  and  eiicoiuaneniont  of 
commerce,  except  in  the  American  State*.  Here,  indeed,  few  Charts  have  been  iiubhshed, 
and  those  of  no  remarkable  character,  either  for  the  accuracy  of  their  distances  ai  H  l'i  ariiigs, 
or  for  the  extent  of  their  scale.  But  to  collect  in  a  compendious  volume  the  m  •  .•.ihenlic 
description  of  the  harbours,  and  an  accurate  detail  of  the  courses  and  soundings  o.  i.  •  Ame- 
rican Coast,  has  long  been  a  desideratum  among  nautical  and  eonimrrcini  nun  ;  and  >  <ilil  the 
appearance  of  the  first  edition  of  the  A.MKKICAN  COASI'  I'll.OT,  in  1796,  no  attempt,  wo 

believe,  had  ever  been  made,  in  any  part  of  ihc  Union,  to  elFect  it. In  accoiiipli>li  so 

important  an  object,  which  was  cnibarrasscd  with  more  lliaii  the  ordinary  diflicullies  with  which 
all  new  works  are  involved,  the  Editor,  actuated  by  a  principle  ol  commercial  bcnclit,  and 
assisted  by  the  most  correct  and  ex |K'rienced  Pilots  in  the  llnitcd  Stales,  hazarded  the  publi- 
cation of  that  work,  under  auspices  by  no  means  favorable  to  its  eveniiial  cssablishiiiciil,  as  a 
book  of  reference  and  directions  to  American  mariners.  Incident  to  the  very  iiidnuics  and 
complex  nature  of  the  work  itself,  much  incompelenry  niul  error  liiuiid  adiiii>5i(<ii  into  its  pagt  », 
which  no  industry  of  the  Editor  could  avoid.  Add  to  this,  the  avowed  li«slihi\  of  ;<lnios'  ail 
the  Pilots  in  the  Southern  commercial  cities,  wilhwlioH-  iii((r,st  a  niihiated.  lo  perniii  any  de- 
gree of  reputation  lo  be  attached  to  a  piililicallon,  whose  prolessed  design  wa^  l.)  ni;  ke  .Ame- 
rican commanders  their  own  pilots,  and  lo  relieve  in  the  minds  of  their  owi.ers  <>oiy  appre-

FROM  Capv  St.  Mary  upwards  into  the  bay,  the  south  shorh  is  low,  and 
runs  out  in  sanely  fiats  tor  near  three  quarters  of  a  mile.  The  north  shore  is 
surrounded  by  high  st«-ep  cliffn,  with  deep  water  close  under  them.  Mid- 
channel,  and  about  two  thirds  up  the  bay,  lies  a  rocky  6n/<A-,  with  4  ood  4^ 
fathoms;  and  on  each  side  of  which  arc  channels  of  12  and  13  fathoms, mud 
bottom.  The  cntnince  of  the  River  Hissibrnt  is  shoal,  and  within  has  a  nar- 
now  channel  of  2  fathoms.  Opposite  to  Sissibon  lies  Saiidp  CoTe,  wbeie  vcv* 
scis,  when  it  blows  hard,may  ground  en  soft  mud^and  be  sheltered  Irom  all  winds. 

Petit  Passage  is  280  fathoms  wide  on  its  narrowest  part,  and  has  from  20 
to  30  fathoms ;  its  shores  are  bold  too.  On  the  west  side,  near  the  northern 
entrance,  lies  Eddi/core,  convenient  fur  vt~isels  to  anchor  out  of  the  stream  of 
the  tides,  which  run  so  very  swift,  that  without  a  fresh  galeof  a  leading  wind, 
no  ship  can  stem  it.  W.N.W.  J  N.  3\  miles  distant  from  the  N.W.  point  of 
th»  northern  entrance  of  Grand  pa.ssrge,  lies  the  north-west  ledge.  Coming  in 
from  the  southward,  the  widest  and  d.vpcst  channel  is  on  the  west  side  of 
Bellii's  island.  To  avoid  the  nine  feet  shoal  (north,  distant  300  tiithums  of  it) 
haul  close  around  the  island,  or  give  it  a  birth  of  4  cablc'^'  Icni^th  ere  you  bear

rock  is  I J  mile  distant  S.  S.  W.  ^  from  the  S.  K.  end  of  Bryer  island:  and 
near  2  miles  further  on  the  same  direction,  is  a  slioal  with  3  tathoms,  b«tween 
which  and  the  rock  arc  l6  fathoms.  Trinity  ledge  lies  S.  W.  |  S.  distant  6* 
miles  from  the  southernmost  point  of  cape  St.  Mary's.  When  the  tide  is  out, 
three  «i^offr«  appear  above  water;  it  is  near  one  quarter  of  a  mile  in  length, 
and  as  much  in  breadth  ;  and  it  tails  oH°  hali  a  mile  to  the  westward,  decjM.'U-

ANNAPOLIS  ROYAL. 

THE  shore  on  both  sides  the  Gut  of  Annapolis  is  iron-bound  for  »C'/pral

draw  into  the  bason,  shoal  quick  to  10,  8,  Jiid  6  fathoms,  mud  bottom.  The 
ebb  and  flood  stream  through  at  tlie  rate  ot  5  knots, and  cause seveial  w  licrl-

tance of  20  or  2.5  leagues  from  the  isle,  and  winds  easterly  and  southerly  un- 
til it  meets  the  soundings  of  the  north-i-ast  bar.  The  <piaiity  of  the  bottom' 
in  general,  is  very  tine  sand,  with  a  few  small  transparent  stones;  to  the 
Hwithward,  and  close  to  llie  north-east  bar,  the  sand  is  mixed  with  many 
black  specks  ;  but  near  the  north-west  bar,  the  sand  has  a  greenish  coh.ur, 
'J'he  north-east  bar  breaks  in  bud  weather,  at  a  distance  of  8  and  10  leagues 
IVom  the  island  ;  but  in  moderate  wcatlier,  a  ship  nniy  cross  it,  at  five  league* 
tlibtaiicc,  with  gieat  safety,  in  no  loss  than  8  and  9  lathoms;  and  if  the  weath- 
er is  clear,  the  island  maybe  seen  thence  very  distinctly  from  a  boat.  The 
r.orth-wcst  bar  breaks  in  bad  weather,  at  7,  and  sometimes  at  S  miles  froii* 
the  inland  ;  but  when  the  sea  is  smooth,  ships  may  cross  it,  wittiin  the  dis- 
tance of  4  mill's,  in  7  fathoms. 

Along  the  north  and  the  south  sides  of  iheisland  air  many  .v/)//.vofsand,c.\--

chor on  the  north  side  of  the  island,  between  these  spits,  and  notbeliahle  to  be

liie  island,  liaving  10  and  \l  fathoms  within  a  mile  from  the  shore  ;  but  to- 
wards the  bar  it  is  more  shoal,  and  dangerous  to  approach,  for  the  currents, 
whitli  are  uncertain,  are  in  a  great  degree  influenced  by  the  winds  which  ha\e

REMARKS. 

The  eastern  extremity  of  Crfa^  Brecon /s/airf  (which  ships,  sailing  from 
Europe  to  Nora  Scolin,  in  general  choose  to  make)  appears  on  the  sea  shore, 
and  some  way  back  into  the  country,  barren  and  rocky  ;  and  the  tops  of  the 
hills  being  so  much  alike,  havo  nothing  remarkable.  The  light  house  ami 
town  of  l.uuhburgh,  on  making  that  part  of  the  island,  are  immediately  seen. 
The  coast  to  the  westward  continues  rocky  on  the  share,  with  a  few  banks  of 
led  earth,  and  appears  less  barren. 

Ca/;(? /i/a/icAtro^/c  is  a  remarkabie  cliff' o{  xchiteish  earth,  lying  just  <>n  the 
e;ist  of  the  isle  of  Saint  Enprif  (which  is  a  small  woody  island,  two  miles  dis- 
tant from  the  shore,  with  a  breaker  one  mile  and  a  half  without  it)  from 
whence  the  land  is  low  to  the  Richmond  Isles,  on  which  ajipear  several  small 
bunks  of  bright  red  earth,  ami  bcuehtrs  between  them.  Albion  cliff '\i  rocky,

Lallif  Cuvc  lies  u  little  to  the  westward  of  litU  llariwir  ;  it  is  h  very  snug 
place  lor  small  vessels,  beiii;^  covered  from  all  winds  behind  the  island  in  th« 
Cove. 

l.allfi  Head  is  the  west  p<Hnt  of  Lalli/  Covr  ;  it  is  a  hi;;h  bluff  white  point  : 
To  the  noiiliward  of  the  lu\id  is  Lallj^  Colt  bccic Coie,  wherein  you  may  an- 
chor in  K)  fmhonis  water. 

Two  miles  to  the  northward  of  Lalljj  Cove  Head,  is  the  bay  of  the  east,  and 
bay  of  the  north  ;  in  both  is  deep  water,  and  u»  anchorasfe,  unless  very  near 
the  shore.  At  the  head  of  the  north  bay  is  the  lur^jcst  river  iii  I'ortune  Bay, 
and  seems  a  good  place  for  a  salmon  fishery. 

'I'he  bay  of  Cinq  Ides  lies  to  the  soutir.vird  of  the  north  bay ;  and  opposite  to 
Lally  Cove  Head  there  is  tolerable  good  alVjhQrage  for  large  bhips  on  the  S.W. 
side  of  the  islands  in  the  bottom  of  the  bay.  The  north  arm  }%  a  very  snug 
place  for  small  vessels  ;  at  (he  head  of  this  arm  is  a  salmon  river. 

A  liitU*  to  the  southward  of  the  bay  of  Cinq  Islei  is  Corben  bay,  wherein  is 
good  anchorage  for  any  ships  in  22  or  24  fathoms  water. 

S.IC.  about  2  miles  from  LallyCoiclhad,  are  two  islands  about  a  mile  from 
each  other;  the  north  easternmost  is  called  Bt''  l.slaiid,  and  the  other  Doglsl' 
iiiiil ;  they  are  of  a  tolurable  height,  and  bold  too  all  round. 

Between  Dog  Island  and  Lord  and  Lady  Inland,  which  lies  off  the  south  point 
of  Corben  bay,  is  a  sunken  rock,  (somewhat  nearer  to  Lord  and  Lady,  than  Dog 
Island,)  whereon  the  sea  breaks  in  very  bad  weather,  and  every  where  round  it 
very  deep  water.  About  a  quarter  of  a  mile  to  the  northward  of  the  north  end 
of  Lord  and  Lady  Island,  is  a  rock  that  appears  at  low  water. 

Bande  de  La'rier  bay  lies  on  the  west  point  of  Bell  Bay,  and  N.N.W.  }  W. 
near  3  leagues  from  Point  Enragee ;  it  may  be  known  by  a  very  higli  mountaii) 
«)ver  the  bay,which  rises  almost  perpendicular  from  the  sea,  called  Ironhead. 
Chufipel Island,  which  forms  the  east  side  of  the  bay,  is  high  land  also.  The 
harbour  lies  on  the  west  side  of  t!;c  bay,  just  within  the  p«int,  formed  by  a 
narrow  low  beach  ;  it  is  very  small,  but  a  snug  place,  and  conveniently  situ- 
ated for  the  cod  fishery,  'i'here  is  a  tolerable  good  anchorage  along  the  west 
side  of  the  bay,  from  thjs  harbour  up  towards  Iron  Head  in  1 8  and  20  fathoms 
water. 

The  bank  of  Bande  de  La'rier,  whereon  is  no  less  than  7  fathopis,  lies  witU 
the  beafh  of  Bunde  de  Lauriir  Harbour,  just  open  of  the  west  point  of  tho 
bay,  and  Boxy  Paint  on  with  the  north  end  of  Sf.  Jaques  Island. 

Two  miles  to  the  westward  of  Bende  de  La'rier,  is  the  harbour  of  Sf.Jaqves, 
which  may  be  easily  known  by  the  island  before  it.  This  island  is  high  attach 
end,  and  low  in  the  middle,  and  at  a  distance  looks  like  two  islands,  it  lie?

Thf  entrance  of  the  hai/  of  Despair  lii's  bctwf-en  the  west  end  of  Longisland 
j(ntl  Gient  Jiivis  island,  (an  island  in  the  mouth  of  (h?  harbour  of  the  same 
name,)  the  distance  from  one  to  tiic  other  is  one  mile  and  a  quarter,  and  in 
tiio  middle  between  them  is  no  soundings  with  280  fathoms. 

'I'lu'  hail  of  Despair  forms  two  rapacious  arms,  one  extending  to  rt»c  N.  E. 
ft  ioui^ues,  ami  the  other  to  the  northward  5  leajjues ;  in  the  norlh  arm  is  very 
ikT|>  water,  and  nouncliorage,  but  iir  the  small  bays  and  coves  which  lay  oti' 
ciicli  side  (if  it.  At  the  head  of  the  bay  of  the  east,  which  is  an  arm  of  the 
nijiiii  buy,  is  a  ^ery  fine  salmon  river,  and  plenty  of  wood.  In  the  N.t.  arm 
of  the  lini/  oj  Dt.ipitir  are  several  arms  and  islands,  and  tolerably  f^ood  anchorao;e 
in  xime  p;irts  of  it.  Little  river  and  Coiine  river  are  counted  go«td  placet 
fur  salmon  lisheries:  About  these  rivers  and  the  head  of  the  bay  are  ^trat 
f'li'uty  u(  all  sorts  of  wood  common  to  this  countrvi  sach  as  fir,  pine,  bircb, 
\\inh-hazie,  sprnce,  &c.  All  the  conntry  about  the  entrance  into  i\>eb<fyof 
7>.vy;fl/;*,  and  foragoorfway  up  it,  is  v<iy  mountainous  and  barren,  but  about 
tiiehciui  of  ihebity  it»|)peHrstobeprefty  level,  and  well  cloathed  wiih  uimhI. 

Great  Jcrvis  huriiour  is  situated  at  the  west  entrance  into  the  hatfof'  1>«- 
pair,  is  asnuj;and  safe  harbour,  with  good  anchorage  in  every  part  «)fit  ii> 
16",  18  tr  90  fathoms;  though  but  small,  will  contain  a  great  number  of  »hi{>- 
ping,  secuiely  sheltered  from  all  winds,  and  very  convenient  for  wooding  and 
WHtering.  There  is  a  passage  into  this  Imrbour  on  cither  side  of  Great  Jeni* 
island,  the  southernmost  is  the  safest,  there  being  in  it  no  danger  but  the  shore! 
itself.  To  sail  in  on  the  north  side  of  the  island,  you  must  keep  in  the  middle 
of  the  passage,  until  you  are  within  ttvo  sniitU  rocks  above  water  near  to  each 
other  on  your  starboard  side,  a  littJtf  within  the  norlh  point  of  the  passage  ; 
you  must  then  bring  the  said  north  point  Iwtwecn  these  rocks,  and  steer  ioto 
the  harljour  in  that  direction,  which  will  carry  you  clear  of  some  sunken 
rocks  which  lie  oft'  the  west  point  of  the  island  >  these  rocks  appear  at  \wr 
water.  The  entrance  into  this  harl;t)ur  may  be  known  by  the  east  end  of 
(.Irrat  Jcrvis  iJiiiid,  which  is  a  high  steep  craggy  point,  called  Great  Jtnu

liomie  bay  Hi-s  one  leagiw  to  :!u"  westward  from  Great  Jervis  htwK  and- 
north  7  miles  from  Pms  idand,  there  are  several  islands  in  the  inoHth  of  it,  the 
Tresternmost  of  v/!iich  is  the  largest  and  highest,  'i'he  best  passage  into  the  bay 
is  to  the  eastward  of  the  largest  island,  between  it  and  the  two  easternmost 
islands ;  which  two  islands  may  be  known  by  tt  riK"k  above  wafer  oflthc  south 
point  (if  each  of  them.  The  bay  lies  in  N.  N.  W.  4  miles,  and  is  near  lialf  a 
mile  broad  in  the  narrowest  part;  there  is  no  danger  going  in,  but  what  shews 
ilscll ;  you  may  go  (in  either  side  of  i^JraAr  }.s7.'i«//,  which  is  a  small  islaiiii 
nearly  in  ihe  mi. Idle  of  the  bay  ;  between  this  inland,  and  two  small  islarwfs, 
lyini{(ni  the  wevt  side  of  the  bay  within  Great  inland,  is  anchorage  in  20  and 
.■JOtathoms,  but  the  best  place  for  large  ships  is  at  the  head  of  the  bay  in  12 
or  11  liithoms,  diai  j^round,  and  convenient  for  wooding  and  wuteriiig.  On

W.  S.  W.  ♦  miles  from  the  bay  Francoh,  on  the  cast  side  of  Cape  !a  ttune, 
lies  Oar  bay ;  oil"  the  east  point  of  the  entrmice  is  a  low  rocky  island,  ciosi'  to 
the  shore;  from  this  point,  to  the  entrance  into  the  bay  of  Despair,  ihc  course 
is  \V.  Jl  N.  9  leagues.  In  the  mouth  of  this  bay  is  a  rocky  isiur.d, 
«nd  a  passage  on  each  side  of  it :  The  bay  lies  in  iirst  N.  N.  E.  near  one 
league,  then  north  2  miles;  it  is  one  third  of  a  mile  broad  in  the  narrowest 
p!;rt,  with  deep  water  close  to  both  shores  all  the  way  up ;  the  least  water  ii 
at  the  entrance :  At  tlie  head  rs  a  small  snug  harbour,  tit  only  for  small 
vessels  and  tishin:z  shallops,  «vherein  is  6  lathonis  water :  At  the  west  side  of 
:'..c  entrance  into  the  bay  N.W.  by  N.  from  the  rocky  island  before- mention- 
ed, is  a  small  snug  cove,  called  Cut  de  Sac,  wherein  is  3  and  4  lathoms  water 
and  good  shelter  for  tithing  vessels. 

Cape  la  Hunt  is  the  >outliernni()st  point  of  land  on  this  part  of  tlie  coast, 
and  lies  in  the  faiitudc  of  47*31' 4'2"  north  west  half  norih  from  Puns 
island,  and  N.W.  half  N.  lOi  leagues  from  Citp<} Miquilon ;  it  may  be  easily 
known  by  its  figure,  which  much  resembles  a  sugar  loaf ;  bvit  in  order  to 
distinginsh  this,  you  must  approach  the  shore  at  least  within  3  leagues,  (un- 
less you  are  directly  to  the  eastward  or  Westward  of  it)  otherwise  the  eleva- 
tion of  the  high  land  wiihinif,  will  hinder  you  from  distinguishing  the  sugar 
loaf  hill ;  but  the  cape  may  always  be  known  by  the  high  land  of  la  IJiiiic, 
•.vtiich  lies  one  league  to  the  westward  of  it;  this  land  rises  <lirectly  from  iho 
sea,  to  a  tolerable  height,  appears  pretty  Hat  at  top,  and  may  be  seen  in 
clear  weather  l6  leagues.

parcel  of  barren  rocks  lying  near  to  each  other,  and  altogether  about  two 
leagues  in  circuit ;  yon  may  approach  these  islands  in  the  day  tinicio  half  a 
Jeague  all  round,  there  being  no  danger  at  that  distance  off.  On  the  S!  VV. 
side  of  the  large  island,  w  hich  is  tlic  highest,  is  «  small  cove,  wherein  is  shel- 
ter for  fishing  shallops,  and  good  convcniencies  for  a  fishery,  and  there  is 
guo.l  fishing  ground  about  the  island. 

V.A%\  cP  north,  7  miles  from  the  Vcugvin  is'aiids,  and  south  9** east,  .3  leagues 
fi)!'.!  Cupe/fl  HiiHc,  is  a  dangerous  rock,  called  the  U'/iale  rock,  whereon  the 
sea  generally  breaks  ,  it  is  about  one  hundred  fatlioms  in  circuit,  with  10,  12, 
and  H  fathoms  water  close  too  all  round  it.  From  this  rock  stretches  out  u 
narrow  bank  oiic  league  to  the  westward,  and  half  a  league  to  the  eastward,' 
whereon  is  from  24  to  5S  fathoms,  a  reeky  and  gravelly  bottom.  In  the 
channel  between  the  shore  and  this  rock,  alSo  between  the  shore  and  Penguin 
inlands,  is  120  and  130  fathoms  water,  ;i  muddy  bottom,  and  the  same  hot* 
toin,  and  nearly  the  same  «leplh  of  water  one  league  without  them.

Cliateaux  daif  from  4,5  to  SO  fathoms;  within  a  mile  of  the  coast  of  Labra- 
(lore,  to  the  westward  oi  Chateaux  bay,  you  will  have  25,  30,  and  35  fath- 
oms ;  furth?^r  up  the  strcights,  as  far  as  Cape  Norman  and  Green  ishind,  you 
*ill  have  40  and  45  fathoms  in  tiie  middle,  less  towards  Neujoundland,  and 
more  towards  the  coast  of  Ijabrudore. 

About  7  miles  to  the  eastward  of  Seal  islands,  is5^  Peter's  islands,  a  pnr- 
ccl  of  smiiU  barren  rocks;  within  them  is  St.  Peter's  hay,  Avhich  is  a  good

hke  an  island. 

J'rom  St.  I'elfr'a  islanils  to  Cape  Charles  island  the  course  is  N.  E.  \  N, 
di'tancc  nrnr  4  leagues;  between  them  lies  Niger  sound,  which  is  an  inlet  2

>i.\V.  tlic  he.-t  anchorage  is  on  the  north  side,  in  y  fathoms  water. 

From  Cape  Charles  to  the  Rattle  ishnds,  (which  arc  the  outermost  of  the

nost  of  the  Battle  islandi  to  point  Leuis,  is  N.N.W  ^  W.  5  inihs;  between 
the  Battle  Islands  and  the  great  Caribou  island  is  a  Rood  harbinir  for  small 
TesKcIs;  the  south  entrance  is  very  narrow,  and  has  only  3  fathoms  water; 
this  entrance  is  not  easily  distinguished,  by  reason  of  a  smull  island  before 
it;  the  north  entrance  i>  much  wiiler,  passing  to  the  westward  of  the  three 
small  northernmost  of  the  Battle  islands;  you  may  anchor  from  5  to  10 
felhoms  water.  This  placo  is  much  resorted  to  iiy  the  savages,  and  is  by 
them  named  Cc-tiic-to;  \im\Cape  Charles  (liey  call  Ikkegnueheaeteuc. 

Between  the  Caribou  islands  and  Cape  Lncis,  lies  St.  Levis'  bay,  in  which

From  the  north  part  of  CapeLeui'i,  at  a  (junrter  of  a  mile  from  the  shore, 
arc  two  flat  rocks,  and  also  several  sunken  rocks,  all  which  are  within  that 
distHi>ce  from  the  shore;  round  this  point  is  the  entranie  of  a  small  cov.', 
running  in  S.S.^V.  half  a  mile,  named  Dccp-mutcr  creek,  but  \cry  narrow,

shuts  the  harbour  in  from  this  sea,  so  ns  not  to  be  seen  till  very  near  it;  the 
entrance  is  very  narrow,  it  is  not  above  50  fathoms  broad,  there  is  5  fathoini' 
in  the  middle,  and  3  fathoms  close  to  the  sides;  tlie  narrovT  part  is  but  short, 
and  after  you  aie  within  the  entrance  the  harbour  becomes  wider,  runninj^

The  first  and  southernn-.ost  harbour  wiihin  Qt'ern  mnd,  is  Snph'.a  harlmiir; 
it  runs  up  S.  by  K.  1^  miles,  and  has  from  I,)  to  10  tathoms  watci'  for  that

These  rocks  lay  withii\  the  narrowest  part  of  the  harbour,  and  above  th« 
low  point  on  the  starboard  side  ;  the  bcbt  anchorage  is  at  the  head  ot' the. 
harbour. 

From  the  islands  at  the  entrance  of  the  Three  hart^ovm  \oCdpe  St.  Tranck,

M-eii  ;  there  is  anciioraj^e  witiiin  the  two  ivhtnds,  on  tiie  hirbo!ir<i  sick-,  in  12 
and  l*  fathom*-,  but  you  will  lay  open'to  the  N.tl. ;  tlie  best  place  to  anchor 
within  the  lirst  part  of  the  river, is  'mS/iip'n /inrhuiir,  wliich  is  on  the  larboard 
side,  about  '2j  ni;les  t'rom  the  entrance,  where  the  course  into  it  is  S.S.W. 
1^  miles;  at  the  entrance  it  is  a  tiiird  of  a  mile  broad,  at  tlie  hoad  it  is 
liroader;  there  is  I'J  and  15  fathoms  water, and  fnood  anchorage  insecurity 
rt;;ai:)st  ail  winds;  at  3i  miles  from  the  entrance  the  course  of  the  river  is 
W.  by  S.  7  miles,  in  tlie  middle  of  it  are  several  great  and  small  islands  : 
S-.iilinnup  aion;i  the  south  side  of  the  islands  there  is  no  danj^er,  and  not  lesi 
than  49  or  50  fathoms  water,  bvil  on  the  starboard,  or  north  side  of  the 
i>lan<ls  there  is  much  less  water,  and  anchorage  all  the  way  up  in  12  and  17 
fathoms.  The  course  up  the  third  part  of  the  river  is  W.h.W.  4  miles;  here 
K  only  two  islands,  on  the  larboard  or  south  siiie  of  which  is  very  good  un- 
riiorioL;,  in  1'2  faliioms;  on  the  north  side  is  30  fathoms  water;  the  land 
j'.ixnit  lierc  is  vi-ry  hi;;h,  and  well  co-.a'rcd  with  wood;  here  t'.ie  water  is t'resli, 
tind  7  miles  further  up  is  a  bar,  on  which  there  is  not  above  3  feet  at  low 
water,  the  river  aljove  that  bar  runs  W.  and  W.N.W.  6"  niiles,  but  the  head 
of  it  is  not  yet  known;  by  the  rapid  stream  probably  it  comes  Irom  great 
lakes  afar  olT. 

One  mile  to  the  northward  of  St.  Francis  riter,  there  is  a  harbour,  called 
lilerchanf wen's /laihour ;  between  the  river  and  this  harbour  there  arc  two  or 
three  bunken  rocks,  lying  a  cable's  length  off  from  the  second  point  from  the 
river;  there  is  no  danger  in  sailing  into  this  harbour,  it  runs  in  first  W.N.W. 
sind  then  W.  about  a  mile,  it  is  two  cables  length  wide  at  the  entrance,  aiid 
3  at  the  head  of  it,  where  ships  may  an(  iior  in  12  fathoms  water. 

To  the  northward  of  this  harbour,  round  a  small  point,  there  is  an  inlet 
which  runs  Up  W.  N.  W.  5  miles,  where  it  turns  to  the  southward  into  Sf, 
Tvancis  rkcr ;  it  is  about  one  third  of  a  mile  broad  at  the  entrance,  and 
continues  the  same  breadth  about  2  miles  up,  and  then  becomes  very  broad, 
with  an  island  in  the  middle,  shaped  not  unlike  a  leg;  there  is  no  danger  in 
this  inlet  but  what  Hp])ears  above  water;  along  tlie  south  side  oi'  Lag  hsland 
there  is  anchorage  in  12  or  13  fathoms.  At  about  3j  miles  within  the  en- 
trance, thelo.ver  part  oi  Leg  island  forms  three  very  good  harbours,  with  7 
and  12  fathoms  water  in  them:  on  the  north  side  of  Erg  inlmid  ihcve  is  a 
liir^e  space,  about  a  mile  broad,  and  two  miles  long;  in  it  is  from  6"0  to  80 
I'dthoms  water,  from  which  to  the  N.  \V.  is  a  passage  into  Cilbvrf's  river, 
which  runs  from  thence  W.N.W.  6  miles,  and  is  about  half  a  mile  broad, and 
from  50  to  GO  fathoms  water  in  it ;  then  Gillcrt's  river  <livi(les  into  two 
blanches,  one  to  the  W.N.W. 7  orS  miles,  the  otfier  S.S.W.6"miles,the  he:ul

of  small  JsIuimIh,  rocks  and  shoals  on  each  side,  but  in  the  middle  is  good  an- 
chorage all  the  way  up,  from  10  to  20  fathoms;  this  river  has  also  a  |)assagc

'I\\o  miles  to  the  southward  of  Cape  St.  Michael,  lies  Occasional  harbour, 
which  may  be  easily  known  by  two  large  rocks  called  Txiin  ruck,  which  lies 
about  tv.o  thirds  of  a  mile  without  the  ciitrance;  they  lie  close  together  ; 
ships  may  pass  on  cither  side  of  them  ;  the  entrance  to  this  harbour  is  be-

is  no  danger  in  this  harbout,  both  sides  being  steep  too;  and  about  2  miles 
up  tliere  is  good  anchorage  in  7  and  10  fathoms;  the  winds  between  the 
high  land  at  tlic  entrance  always  sets  right  into  tlie  harbour,  or  right  out. 

From  Cape  Si.  Miehati's  to  Oipe  Bliij',  the  course  is  N.  by  W.  4  leagues  ;

i.ortliward  of  it,  havin<^  a  number  of  hir<.'e  and  small  islands  in  it ;  thelnrjiest 
*r  these  islands,  called  Square  inland,  lies  in  the  mouth  of  the  bay,  and  ?s  3 
miles  loni;,  nnd  very  high  land. 

'J'hc  best  anchorage  for  lar^je  vessels  in  St.  J^Hc/incl's  bay,  is  on  the  soutli 
siJe;  that  is,  keep  cape  ^U  Midiiul's  sliore  on  board,  then  keep  along  lh« 
foulh  side  of  the  first  island  you  meet  with,  which  is  called  hong  island,  till 
"ou  come  near  as  far  as  the  west  end  of  it,  nnd  there  anchor  fr.)m  ]'2  to  20 
ilhoms;  you  will  there  lay  land-locked,  and  may  work  out  again  lo  sea  on 
either  side  of  Long  inland.

i*  N.  O'S"  30'  \V.  distance  3 J  miles;  in  the  entrance  lies  a  small  island,  of  a 
inoderate  hei;;ht;  the  best  passage  is  to  tlie  westward  of  this  island,  there  be- 
ins  only  2  tathoins  water  in  the  eastern  passa^^e. 

The  N.K.  point  of  S'luare  idand  is  a  hi;>h  round  hill,  and  makes  (in  coming 
fri;m  the  southward)  like  a  separate  island,  beinsj  only  joined  by  a  Imv  nar- 
row neck  of  land.  N.  5+"  W.  distance  I  league.  Fr  in  this  pnirit  lies  the  en-

nnother  low  blaci:  one  a  little  above  ir.  Oil' the  latter  a  sunken  rock  lies  about 
two  cables  len:jtl) ;  tliereiore  kee|>  tlie  ini.lille  of  the  bay,  and  you  will  meet 
vitli  nj  dan;irr,  except  a  rock  above  writer,  which  lies  u  mile  below  the  point 
of  the  narrows;  leave  this  rock  on  the  larlionrd  hand,  keeping  tlio  middle  of 
the  water,  and  you  will  carry  18  fathoms  throueh  the  narrowest  part ;  soon 
after  you  are  above  which,  the  biiy  widens  to  upwards  of  a  mile  acres ;  n.id 
you  may  anchor  in  IS  and  20  falhonis  water,  good  holding  ground,  and  se- 
cure from  all  wind'*. 

Three  miles  south  from  Cavnda point  is  Cniiadnhrad.  It  is  pretty  hijjh,  and 
ytry  liistin^uisliable,  either  to  the  northward  or  the  southward;  but  wlienyu 
■  re  directly  to  the  eastward  of  it,  it  is  rullier  hid  by  the  high  lands  hi  tli« 
fcuntry,  called  the  (^Imtdt, 

Upwards  of  4  miles  to  the  P.W.  from  Cannda  head  is  Jtooj)in<r  harbour,  by 
the  French  called  Sansf'mid.  '1  his  place  has  two  anus,  or  rather  bays,  theoncj 
lyinti  up  the  northward,  and  the  rither  to  the  westward.  There  is  very  deep 
wafer  in  the  north  arr,,  until  you  approach  near  the  head;  it  is  a  loose  sandy 
bottom,  entirely  operi  to  southerly  winds,  and  not  a  )ilace  of  siif-ty  for  ship- 
j)ing.  In  tiie  westward  arm  a  ship  may  safely  anchor  in  a  moderate  tlcpth  of 
>vater. 

About  4  miles  to  the  Foutlnvard  of  Hooping  htrhoiir  is  Fovvhte.  There  ig 
no  anchorage  in  tliia  place  until  yoti  approach  near  the  head,  where  there  is  a 
cove  on  the  north  side.  The  land  is  cxtrenu'ly  hiyh  on  bo'li  sides,  and  deep 
water  cIofc  to  the  shore.  This  cove  is  about  2  or  3  miles  from  the  entrance, 
in  which  there  is  anchorage  in  18  fathoms  water,  but  so  small,  that  a  sh'p 
mw?t  moor  head  and  stern.  Tiiere  is  another  arm,  which  runs  ne  T  2  milei 
ftbovo  this;  it  is  extremely  narrow,  and  so  deep  water,  that  it  is  never  used 
by  shippin!.^ 

Three  lepj^ues  to  the  S.  W.  from  Fortchrc,  is  Great  /larhoiir  deep,  by  ths 
Trench  called  Bat/  Or;iii;ic:  It  may  be  known  from  any  othci  place,  by  the 
land  at  its  entrance  being  much  lower  than  any  land  on  the  north  side  vi 
IFhitr's  bai/,  n\v\  bears  N.W.  J  N.  fron'  Piirtridge  point.  This  is  a  larjje  bay. 
A  little  within  the  entrance  there  is  a  small  coye  on  each  side,  iicnerally  used 
by  the  fishing  ships,  though  very  dangerous  for  a  ship  to  lie  in  :  They  alwayj 
moor  head  and  stern  ;  notwitli'landinj!,  if  a  gale  of  wind  happens  to  the  east, 
jaard,  they  are  in  the  greatest  danger.  Near  .'3  miles  within  the  entrance  of 
this  bay,  it  branches  out  in  three  arms:  In  the  north  arm,  which  is  much 
the  largest,  there  is  so  deep  water,  you  will  have  no  anchorage  until  you  ap- 
proach near  the  head;  the  middle  arm  is  the  best  place  for  ships  to  anchor, 
in  7  lathoms  water,  and  a  good  bottom.

c:il!ed  I' AiH-r  I'Vuion.  'J  his  is  an  inlet  of  about  2  miles,  directly  open  to  tha

nppeiirin;^  like  an  i>l;ind,  and  bears  N.W.  by  \\.  .J  W.  from  Partridge  point. 
It  is  but  an  inditfcrent  ii.uljour  for  shippiu'r.  Scarcely  2  miles  further,  is  an. 
o;!,er  inlet,  called  l.ilttr  liarhonr  derp,  by  the  Trench,  /a  Vailw.  This  is  also 
direc'lyopcn  to  the  S.F,.  winds;  olithe  north  point  of  this  inlet,  are  sonio

Upwards  of  3  leagues  to  the  S.S.W,  from  Great  cat  arm,  isCtmey  arm  head. 
This  is  the  most  remarkable  land  on  the  west  side  oilVhi'ebai):  it  bciKS  W.

nearly  straight,  until  you  coiire  to  this  head,  which  projects  out  nearly  I A 
mile,  forming  a  deep  bight,  which  is  called  Cheat  con:}/ arm.  There  is  no  Kiiul 
of  shelter  for  shi|>pii)!»  at  thin  place.  N.W.  from  the  head,  is  Little  cuntif  arm, 
which  is  a  convenient  little  place  for  Hshing  craft,  but  at  the  entrance  it  it 
U.IU  bli.-.'ow  for  a  ship. 

From  Cuiiey  head,  about  4 miles  further  up  the  bay,  is  a  cove  called  Frtfiic/f 
man's  cove,  in  which  a  ship  might  safely  mciior. 

From  rreiiehmuii's  aii'e,  about  a  league  furliier  to  the  south,  round  a  low 
ragged  point,  is  Jackson's  arm,  in  which  is  prei»^'  deep  water,  except  in  a  small 
co\e  on  the  starboard  hand,  where  a  ship  may  uiour  head  aad  bleru.  Thi» 
place  affords  the  largest  timber  in  Whites  twij. 

From  Jackson's  arm,  4  miles  further  to  the  soutbwai'd,  is  the  north  end  of 
Sup's  iduiiJ,  wl'ich  bears  S.W.  g  W.  diblnuce  about  10^  miles  from  I'art ridge 
point,  '1  his  island  is  1 1  miles  in  circuit,  by  whkh,  and  Guat  island,  is  formed 
a  long  piissage,  or  arm,  called  Sop's  arm ;  iit  the  iiurth  of  which  a  ship  may 
safely  anchor,  just  within  the  north  end  oi Sop's  island.  The  best  passage  in- 
to this  arm,  is  by  the  north  side  of  Sup's  island.  '1  here  is  alio  anchoraue  be- 
tween Sop's  ib/flHi/and  the  main,  before  you  come  the  length  oi'  Goat  i^land^ 
but  the  water  is  deep;  there  is  a  cove  at  the  north  end  of  this  islaml,  called 
Si:p's  cove,  and  two  other  small  coves  opposite  on  the  main,  called  Hart'scoves, 
ill  all  of  which  u  fishery  is  carried  on,  but  ships  generally  anchor  in  the  up- 
per part  of  the  arm,  williin  Goat  inland. 

From  the  north  end  of  ii<;;;'4  island,  to  the  river  at  the  head  of  ilie  bay,  tha 
distance  is  upwards  of  6  leaguts.  This  place  is  called  Gold  cove.  Mere  th« 
river  branches  out  into  several  small  streams  of  water. 

Near  5  leagueidown  from  the  river  head,  and  nearest  the  S.F.  side  of  the 
bay,  lies  Granhi/'s  island,  by  some  called  Mid-buy  island.  'Ihis  island  aflord* 
lio  cove  nor  shelter  for  boats.  On  the  S.K.  part,  about  '2  cai)les  length  off, 
there  is  a  shoal,  whereon  is  not  above  1^  fathoms  water.  Nearly  abreast,  or 
rather  below  this  island, on  the  S.LL.  side  oiiha  H'hitebtn/,  is  Puruickcove,  iii 
which  shipping  may  safely  anchor,  and  good  convcniencics  for  the  tishcp),'. 
About  5  miles  to  tlie  N.E.  of  this  cove,  and  \V.  by  S.  ^  S.  trom  the  north  end 
nf  Sop's  island,  lies  ll\stu:ard  arm.  Tliis  arm  lies  up  about  S.F.  4  mile?,  iii 
wliich  ships  may  safely  anchor,  iii  about  18  fathoms  water:  'there  is  a  cov«t 
on  each  side  ol  this  arm,  at  its  entrance ;  that  on  the  N.K.  side,  called  Bear 
c./iT,  is  much  the  best,  where  small  ships  may  securely  moor,  sheltered  from 
iill  winds,  in  li  f.iihoius  water;  the  other  cove,  which  is  called  H'Hd cove, .it 
Lut  an  inditi'erent  place,  being  open  to  the  N.W.  winds,  and  a  foul  rocky  bot- 
tom; ilie  point  on  the  N.E.  side  oi  IVcstcrn  arm,  is  called  Hauling  point. 
'1  wo  leagues  to  the  XJ'',.  i/f  Hauling  point,  is  another  arm,  lying  up  about 
S.F,.  by  S.  3  or  4  miles,  called  Middle  arm.  At  the  entrance  of  this  arm  is  :i 
i"fky  ib'and,  from  which,  quite  home  to  both  shore?,  is  a  shoiil,  whereon  i»

about  14  f'atiionis  water. 

Aljout  2  Ica'jues  from  Pttcqnct,  to  tlje  S.  E.  is  Great  round  hurhonr.  This  is 
n  convenient  little  hmrbour  tor  ti.^iiing  ^hips;  tiiere  is  no  danjjer  in  siailing  in- 
to it ;  both  shores  being  bohl  too,  you  may  anchor  within  the  two  inner  points  in 
4  and  5  iHthoins,  entirely  land-lockeii.  Little  round  harbour,  *hich  is  about 
1  ,j  mile  round  a  point  to  the  N.K.  trom  this,  is  not  fit  for  shipping;  it  is  on- 
ly a  cove,  wherein  is  but  2  fathoms,  and  a  loose  sandy  bottom. 

About  4-  niih'^  to  theS.W.  from  mpe  John  is  the  small  harbour  of  Lrt  Cc;'. 
This  jiluee  is  open  to  tin;  N.N.W.  'liiore  is  no  danger  in  sailing  in}  you  may 
anchor  in  any  depth  you  |)Kase,  from  8  to  .S  fathoms  water. 

Cape  John  is- a  lofty  ragged  point  of  land.  It  lies  in  the  latitude  of  5C°  6'  N. 
and  may  be  known  l)y  the  Bull iale,  which  is  a  small,  high,  round  island, 
hearinc;  nearly  e;i»t,  about  4  tniles  trom  the  pitch  of  the  cape. 

I''r(tm  ciijir  John  Lo  tiie  bu\j  ojTwiliiigale,  the  course  is  8.E.  by  F,.  distance 
]  t  or  12  leagues.  This  is  but  an  indillbrent  place  for  shipping,  it  being  di- 
rectly open  tij  the  N.H.  winds,  which  heave  in  a  very  great  sea.  N.  ^  W.  about 
4  miles  from  the  entrance  of  tiiis  bay,  there  is  a  bank,  on  whicli,  in  the  win- 
ter, the  sea  ha'  been  seen  to  break,  between  which  and  the  shore  there  is 
from  jO  to  bO  fathoms  water. 

If'irc  ciipc  core,  which  lies  on  the  we  .t  side  (.f  the  westcrnnTost  Tuilingate 
hldiid,  that  makes  Tiiili/igufe  bay,  is  a  place  for  fishing  era  t  only. 

From  cape  John  to  Fogo  head,  the  course  is  E.  by  S.  \  S.  distance  I?"  or  18 
leaguca.  Ihimediately  to  the  eastward  of  this  head  is  Fugo  harbour.  'I'his  is  a 
jiretty  good  harbour  for  Ashing  ships,  &c.  but  tin;  entrance  is  intricate  an<l 
(huueriiUs.  To  sail  into  this  harbour  witli  a  westerly  wind,  and  coming  from 
the  westward,  keep  close  on  board  oi  Fogu  head;  it  is  very  bold  too,  and  no- 
thing to  fear,  until  you  open  a  narrow  entrance, scarcely  half  acable's  length 
wide.  Steer  directly  in,  kee|iiiig  rijdit  In  the  middle,  and  you  will  carry  irom 
8  to  1  f.ithoms  water  thr<j'.  When  you  ai  ;-■  thro'  this  passage,  \<l;ich  is  common-

^:  iiij,'  II),  lying  tift'  the  Jiiiruay,  besides  other  rocks  on  eacii  iide,  but  it  is  a 
,<^ood  place  lor  iishiiig. 

Tlmse  who  go  in  tiicre  should  be  very  well  acquainted  ;  when  you  are  in, 
svliere  ships  usually  ride,  ycu  have  not  above  1  j  teet  water,  and  but  small 
drill,  by  reason  i.f  ^hojils  about  you,  and  a  S.S.H.  wind  brings  in  a  great  sea, 
so  that  It  is  vcxy  bad  riaing,  and  only  used  in  summer  time:  The  Jiarbour 
Jirs  N.W.  about  a  league  in  ;  but  you  must  keep  the  south  side  going  in,  for 
(hat  is  the  clearest. 

Olf  the  staith  |)oint  of  the  enf  raiicc  of  tlic  harboiir  is  an  island,  a  small  disr

w  liich  you  may  see  at  leiisl  a  leagues  olf  in  fair  weatlier,  but  the  rock  is  bold

J'rrwoues  is  a  very  good  harbour,  and  bold  going  in,  no  danger  but  the 
sliore  itself;  it  lies  in  N.W.  and  N.W.  by  \V.  Being  past  the  entrance,  there 
aie  s(-venil  coves  on  each  side  of  the  harbour,  w'.icre  sJiips  may  and  olten  do

ot'  Aguafort  harbour,  is  N.W.  by  N.  1  niilf,  which  harbour  is  very  good,  and 
safe  tur  ships;  it  lii-s  in  W.N.W.  There  is  a  great  rock  ab<  ve  water  g(  ii.i;  in 
on  the  south  side,  which  is  bold  (oo;  you  run  up  about  2  miles  within  the 
harbour's  mouth,  and  ride  on  the  north  side,  and  lie  land  h.cked,  as  it  were 
pond,  like  to  Ferr/iland  pool,  but  larger,  where,  witi.  a  piere  ot  limlev,  jou 
may  make  astHge  trom  your  ship  to  your  stage  on  sh«.re,  being  an  excellent 
harbour,  and  water  deepenouf;h. 

From  /Igva  fort  to  I'erryland  head  (the  south  part  of  the  head)  the  coiiife 
is  cast,  about  3  miles,  t'roB/  inland,  being  about  a  mile  from  A^iia  Joit,  lies 
K.N.I'.,  from  the  harbour's  mouth,  and  trom  the  S.lv  end  of  Crow  island,  lie» 
a  ihoal  about  a  cable's  length. 

From  the  north  [tart  oiierri/land  head  to  Ferrtilaiid,  the  course  is  W.  b.  N. 
about  2  miles:  to  goinio  Ferri/hmd port  or  harbour,  you  must  sail  between 
the  north  part  of  Ftrryland  head  and  Huoy  island;  it  is  not  very  broad,  but 
there  is  water  enough,  and  clean  giouml ;  being  withi'i  the  said  hiin^i  island, 
y'>u  may  run  in  and  anchor  where  you  please ;  it  being  of  a  good  handsome 
breudth  ;  or  you  may  go  into  the  I'ool,  which  is  a  place  on  the  larboard  side 
(going  in)  with  a  point  of  beach,  where  you  ride  in  1 2  feet  water  at  low  wa- 
ter, and  where  the  admiral's  ships  generally  ride,  (the  stages  beirjg  near,  se- 
veral planters,  inhabitants,  live  in  this  place.)  From  Fjiioii  island,  almost  into 
the  land  to  the  westward, arc  small  islands  and  rocks,  winch  make  terryhud 
harbour,  or  port,  and  divide  it  fiom  Caplin's  bay  ;  between  the  said  rocks,  in 
some  places,  is  a  passage  tor  boats,  and  ihe  water  rises  heieahouls  3i,4,  and 
s^tnetimes  5  feet,  and  somelim^'S  3  feet,  and  so  it  does  i;ci.eri.l!y  iii  all  the 
Juirbouis  of'tliis  land. 

From  Ferrylatid  head  to  cape  Brnyle  head,  is  N.  by  E.  almost  4  m;lcs,  be- 
tween which  are  three  islands,  which  lie  before  Vaplinx  bay  ;  there  aie  chiin- 
r.cls  to  sail  between  them  to  Caplm's  bay,  ilv,\t  is,  between  Bufiy  island,  which 
is  thestornmost  and  grciitest,  and  Oi-isr  island,  which  is  the  middlemost, ;in(l 
is  the  second  in  bigness  next  to  Ihioi;  islniid;  also  you  may  sail  through  ht- 
l\\  Qcn  Goose  island,  \'i\\\c\\  is  the  miildlemost,  and  intone  island,  wliich  is  the 
nnrtheinmost  ;  but  these  |)assages  are  huge  enough  for  ships  to  sail  or  turn  in 
or  out;  but  between  Stone  island  w\u\  the  north  shore,  (that  is,  eape  Ihoyle) 
ti.crc  is  no  passage  for  a  ship,  only  trr  boats,  there  being  f.  great  rock  between 
Slioie  inland  and  the  north  >hoie. 

Caplm's  bay  js  jjirge  and  good,  and  runs  in  a  great  way  W.N.W.  at  least  6 
ir.i'.es  within  the  said  islands,  wlieie  iniiiiy  ships  may  ride  in  !!0od  ground,  tind 
w here  sometimes  the  Newfoundland  ships  meet  that  are  bound  with  convoy

From  tlip  pi..':it  of  the  Crates  to  tlicN.W.  or  norlli  end  of  Micislanil  Jjaca'

nuiy  lie  v\iih  a  wind  ott'  the  hind  of  Brcak-lmirt putnt ;  there  is  a  ledge  of 
rock>,  l)iu  al;ve  water. 

I'Voni  limik-hrarl  piiiiit  to  S/icrXL^irh  point,  i^oing  into  Olil  Perlieaii,  tho 
roinse  is  S.W.  by  S.  .)  or  (>  miles',  'i'o  the  southward  of  Break-heart  point  is 
a  bniall  i.sl.ind  suinc  little  distance  oft'  the  shore,  called  Seurvy  island ;  between 
the  said  island  and  Chrruieh  point  runs  in  a  pretty  deep  bay,  and  lies  iti  S.E, 
Irom  Hheru/c/i  /loinf,  about  three-fiuarters  of  a  nijle. 

Sheruick  piiiiil  is  bidd,  olf  which  is  a  rock  above  waterj;  this  point  is  the 
north  |)oiru  ot  Otrl  Per/icaii.  'I'hosi^  who  are  bound  to  Old  Perliean, emmot  <;o 
with  a  sliij)  to  the  nmthw.ird  of  the  island,  that  is,  between  the  island  aiiH 
S/ierniik  pnitit.  Althnigh  it  seems  a  fair  passage,  yet  it  is  altogether  foul 
ground,  and  a  sloal  of  rocks  from  the  main  to  tite  island  (which  island  is 
about  annic  and  a  ([uarter  rnund,  and  about  half  a  mile  in  length)  ;  there- 
tore  whoever  intends  lor  OA/  Perliean  witli  a  ship,  must  go  the  southward  of  the 
island,  bi-twcn  that  and  the  main,  and  run  in  within  the  island,  and  anchor 
in  4  or  i  tathiiius.  l!ut  there  is  a  rock  just  even  with  the  water,  and  some 
iinder  water,  that  lie  about  the  midille  of  the  bay,  w  ithin  the  island,  or  rather 
nearest  to  the  niain.  Old  Perliean  is  but  an  indifferent  road  ;  if  the  wind 
comes  out  at  W.N.W.  you  are  forced  to  buoy  your  cables  for  the  badness  of 
gromid,  and  tlie  boats  go  a  great  way  to  catcli  tish,  about  5  or  6  nnles,  unless 
It  be  in  tiie  very  middle  of  summer.     In  this  place  live  several  planters. 

I'n-m  Old  I'crlican  to  Silk  cute  is  W.S.W.  Southerly,  about  7  leagues  ; 
Sill'  eore  is  but  an  indifterent  place  for  ships,  such  as  tiaif  Veriis. 

I'iom  Old  Perliean  to  Nev)  Perliean,  the  course  is  W.S.W.  8  leagues.  This 
i'^  a  v(i-y  g(;od  harbour,  where  you  nuiy  lie  landlocked  in  5,  6",  7,  8,  9>  or  10 
(;:thoms.  it  is  very  bold  ai\d  larg<?  going  in,  so  that  if  you  can  see  the  point 
before  night,  you  may  safely  run  in,  nothing  to  hurt  you  but  the  shore  it- 
self; theeasttrnmost  point  going  in  is  called  SmiUti/-nu>ie point,  And  thewest- 
ernmr,st  Gorlub  point,  between  w  hich  i»  the  entrance,  which  is  alinost  two 
nules  broad,  and  has  about  20  fathoms  water  ;  and  as  you  sail  ia  it  grows 
nirrowcr  andshoaler,  lying  in  first  W.S.W.  after  runs  up  to  the  westward  in 
a  bite,  where  you  lie  landlocked,  and  above  half  a  mile  broad,  so  that  you 
may  turn  in  or  out,  and  anchor  in  what  depth  you  j)lease,  from  12,  10,  8,  6, 
3  or  4  fathoms,  very  good  ground.  From  New  Perliean  it  is  about  5  leagues 
over  to  Random-head,  and  they  lie  nearest  N.W.  and  S.F,.  one  from  the  other. 
In  tiie  river  or  bay  of  Random  are  several  arms  and  harbours,  for7{wrfomand 
Smilh'n  sound  come  all  into  one,  but  it  is  9  f"  10  leagues  under  the  head  of 
et'.c'h  where  they  meet, and  there  is  a  little  island  at  the  head,  where  it  4  and 
">  iatlioms;  only  at  the  island  going  thr«iigli  y:)U  have  not  above  12  feet  wa-

leagues  from  Ronavrntnre  tuTiekle.  liarhoi/r,  the  bo'lui.i  of  Triniiij  bay ;  but; 
there  is  a  bay,  called  Hay  Hulls,  which  runs  in  3  or  4  leugues,  and  is  not  over, 
from  thence  to  Plaeentia  Iniv,  (the  back  or  west  side  of  the  land)  about  two 
niiles;  and  ttte  islan<ls  of  Plaeentia  bai/  are  about  ,9  or  10  leugues  long

'"  Thore'fs  an  island  which  lies  oflthe  west  point  of  the  harbour,  called  G///Z 
island,  off  which  they  used  to  Jish  ;  from  the  said  island  the  harbour  lies  in  N. 
about  a  mile  There  aic  several  islands  which  are  without,  oft  Bovaiaiturc, 
the  one  is  from  tlie  port  S.S.W.  5  or  6  miles,  called  G)Tf«  i.v/««|i',  which  is  a 
pretty  targe  island,  and  you  see  it  as  soon  as  you  come  out  of  1  rmty  harbour, 
in  fafr  weather ;  another  island  lies  S.W.  by  S.  3  miles,  and  anotiier  island

Hormhops  and  Trinltn /mrhoiir  arc  two  places,  where  ships  used  to  fish  :  the 
CMC  is  tAlisUmrhoiiv; anA  is  W.N.W.  from  the  //«mc//o/>.?2  miles,  and  after 
you  arc  about  a  point,  tends  E.N.i:.  again  ;  it  is  a  clean  bay,  and  you  rioe  in 
4  or  .5  fathoms  water;  a  planter  or  two  live  here. 

From  En'^lish  harly-mr  to  Salnwi,  core,  the  course  is  Im.W.  by  W.  westerly, 
about  hiilf  a  league ;  it  is  a  place  for  fishing,  and  there  is  a  river  which  run* 
up  about  1  miles  to  the  northward.  ;  _

which  shoots  off  from  the  point,  wiiliin  the  small  island,  on  the  larboard  side 
lioina  in,  and  lies  over  N.W.  about  a  third  of  the  breadth  of  that  arm,  which 
vou  must  avoid  :  Being  within  that  bank,  which  will  discover  itsell  by  the 
colour  of  the  water,  you  may  ei'.ge  close  to  the  south  shore,  if  you  please,  or 
ke-p  your  lead  win-,  to  avoid  tiie  Mmclid  bunk,  giving  it  a  little  distance  : 
YOU  may  anchor  in  *14,  12  or  10  faOioins,  and  you  may  come  so  near  to  the 
Maae  on  shore,  as  to  make  a  stag^vith  topmasts  to  your  stage  on  shore,  to 
Jade  or  unlade  your  ship.     It  is/ most  excellent  harbour  ;  for  after  you  are

N.I",.  .5  leagues.  Al)out  a  leiigue  to  the  northward  of  the  Jforsechopx,  is 
(•iccn  /••/I/,  which  runs  pretty  deep  in,  btit  no  place  where  ships  use  to  ride  or 
fiili,  lleiiig  past  Grcin  linu,  there  is  no  place  or  cove  for  boats,  till  you  come 
lo  lldgi^cd  Harbour,  or  Catt'.iliiia. 

From  the  south  head  oiCulfiilinn  buy  to  the  north  head,  is  N.N.E.  3  leagues, 
between  which  two  lieads  is  Ragged  harbour  and  Caltaliiia  karboiir.  Catlalina 
hill  hour  lies  from  the  .south  head  N.  by  F.  Northerly,  about  two  miles. 

Uir^gid  harbour  is  so  called,  l)y  reason  of  tiie  abundance  of  ragged  and 
craggy  rocks,  which  lie  Lelbre  and  wit'iiii  the  liarb:)ur  ;  there  is  no  going  into 
tiie  southward,  with  ships,  but  only  for  boats,  and  that  you  must  be  well  ac- 
cjuainted  witli,  for  tiiere  arc  very  many  rocks  above  and  under  water. 

Tiiose  wild  intend  for  lt<i<i:grd  harbour,  with  a  ship,  must  go  to  the  nortli- 
w.ird  of  all  the  aforesaid  r.iggcd  rocks  or  islands,  that  lie  before  it,  (whicK 
Illlike  the  harbour)  and  run  so  far  to  tlic  northward  till  they  bring  liaggcd 
It.ir'.iour  open ;  then  sail  in  between  a  round  island  which  lies  close  to  the 
r.hiin,  and  a  great  black  rock,  wiiich  lies  oft"  the  north  end  of  all  the  Ragged 
i^liinds  ;  sail  in  till  they  are  aliout  tlie  middle  of  the  aforesaid  islands,  which 
will  be  to  seaward  of  them  and  anchor  thtjre.  There  is  a  river  of  fresh  wa- 
tir  at  the  head  of  the  harbour,  but  no  inhabitants. 

'Two  miles  to  the  northward  of  Ragged  Harbour,  is  the  harbour  of  Catali- 
t"t,  wlii^li  is  a  very  good  and  safe  harbour,  and  good  ground,  not  above  S 
tiitiioms,  from  3  to  +,  5,  6,  7,  or  8  fathoms,  as  you  jilease.  You  maj',  with 
a  leading  wind,  sail  between  the  small  island,  wliich  is  a  little  to  the  south- 
ward of  the  harbour,  and  have  4  or  5  fathoms  at  the  least  going  through,  but 
it  is  not  above  a  cable's  length  broad  ;  or  you  may  go  without  the  saitl  island, 
to  the  eastward  of  it,  giving  the  island  a  small  birth,  and  so  sail  in  with  the 
middle  of  the  harbour ;  for  about  a  mile  distance  from  the  south  point  of  the 
harbour,  F.N.K.  is  a  shoal,  upon  which,  if  there  be  ever  so  small  a  sea,  it 
bleaks;  but  you  may  sail  between  the  island  and  the  shoal,  or  you  may  go 
to  the  northward  ol  it,  between  the  shoal  and  the  north  .shore,  and  borrow 
off  the  north  side  of  the  main,  off  Little  Cattalinn,  a  bay  wliich  lies  in. 

IViug  ofi  Little  Cattaliiia,  all  the  way  to  the  harbour,  you  have  not  above 
10  fathoms,  und  from  10  to  8  and  7  tathoms,  tlien  8  and  .9  fathoms  again. 
It  is  rei'Oi  ted  there  is  a  rock  which  lies  about  three  c|uarters  of  a  cable's* 
I'  ngth  from  the  south  point  of  the  entering  into  the  harbour,  which  has  but  y 
I'l-  10  feet  water  on  it;  however,  it  is  easily  avoided,  it  any  such,  by  keeping 
f  iiiietliing  nearer  to  the  north  shore,  till  you  are  shut  within  the  said  point, 
lor  all  tiie  harbour  over  is  good  sounding.  Close  to  the  shore,  witiiin  tlio 
liurbour,  you  may  anchor  in  5  fiillioms,  liindlocked.  In  the  S.W,  arm  the 
harbour  lies  in  W.S.'vV.  or  you  may  anchor  in  3*  fath'Miis  within,  to  the 
Miulhw.ird  of  the  little  small  gixen  island,  within  tlie  said  harbcmr,  or  run  up 
'2  miles  towards  the  river-head,  where  tresli  watir  runs  down.  In  this  harbour 
yju  may  anchor  iij  7,  (),  5  or  -^  faliioins.     Tiicrc  is  a  kind  of  a  btiar  rises  in

called  the  White  horse. 

Dodding  rock  lies  about  a  quarter  of  a  niilc  from  the  easternmost  part  of

On  it  you  have  not  less  than  7  fathoms  water,  but,  by  the  tishernu  Ii'saccount, 
tiierc  is  not  more  than  4  fathoms  on  one  part  of  it :  in  bad  weatiier,  the  sea 
breaks  very  high  on  it. 

About  3  miles  to  the  N.N.E.  from  Iron  island  is  the  opening  of  Mortier

third  ',)f  the  distance  from  the  west  side.  Ships  may  sail  in  oneither  sideof  it. 
It  is  bold  too  all  round.  Close  to  the  (irst  point  beyond  the  island,  on  tiie

swell  tuinbh's  into  the  rwve  in  bad  weather,  but  no  anchor  was  ever  known  to 
come  home  here.  Fishing  ships  sometimes  ride  here  the  season.  On  the  west 
side  of  the  bay  is  the  harbour,  which  is  small  and  narrow,  but  a  vevy  good 
'UK'  for  small  vciseis,  where  they  lie  moored  to  the  shore.  There  is  7  aiid  8

with  the  cast  end  of  Kot  island,  but  it  should  not  be  brou!>ht  to  the  westward 
of  It  until  you  have  open  St.  John's  point,  ^'ou  niii-ht  by  this  last  mark  j:u 
over  near  Rot  inland,  and  go  up  to  the  southward  oj  the  mi(U!!o  shea!,  wilh 
.SV.  John's  C/iiiri/i  just  open  ti  ihe  point ;  in  this  channel  is  (lee|i  water,  Inn  it 
i-"  narrow  ;  it  is  culled  tiie  (UdTnnose,  and  the  other  is  called  the  ^Vtu'  Jia- 
^■nc.  It  is  not  proper  for  tlie  Old  Travtrnc  to  be  made  use  of,  as  the  |)aii.af;e 
between  the  middle  shoal  and  the  sand  off /}«;;;/(•(//)<  A r/^,- is  narrow,  and  vou 
will  be  so  much  the  lon<«or  going  across  the  tide,  which  may  carry  you  out 
of  the  way  if  yon  art^  not  very  attentive  to  the  marks.  'Ihe  middle  shoal 
reaches  up  the  river  until  you  have  got  IklULasc  cliunh  a  good  deal  open  of 
\\w  west  end  ot  Hot  itJiind,  but  as  a  mark  of  this  kind  is  very  duceivnig,  it 
leaches  until  you  have  brought  the  cast  end  of  the  middle  mountain  on  tho 
west  end  of  JUit  ialund,  and  then  you  will  be  past  it,  and  have  the  channel 
open  from  near  the  i.-huul  of  Oiliuns,  to  very  near  the  west  etui  of  Rot  inland, 
und  may  anchor  between  Oilrnns  and  Madame  islands,  or  proceed  up  the 
river,  at  pleasure.  If  it  should  be  thick  weather,  and  you  would  pass  the 
'J'ravcrsr,  and  the  mountains  cannot  be  seen,  nor  the  ends  of  the  •,hoals  Imoy- 
td,  it  might  be  done  by  keeping  erne  or  two  housos  «|K>n  of  the  east  end 
of  Rut  inland,  or  the  tliird  house  may  be  brought  in  a  line  with  it,  but  should 
not  be  opened  ;  and  these  marks  may  be  observed  until  you  have  opened  St. 
John's  point,  as  aforesaid. 

But  as  these  houses  may  be  mistaken  li)r  others,  even  by  a  person  who  is 
iiccjuainted  with  the  Travrise,  it  is  not  sale  to  use  them.  It  is  certain,  the 
greatest  diHictilty  of  the  Trutcisc  is  in  coining  over  from  Burnt  cape,  to  open 
St.  John's  point,  as  the  channel  is  but  narrow,  and  you  are  so  long  going  acioss 
the  tide  ;  and  at  Burnt  cape  the  channel  is  not  above  ;J  of  a  mile  wide  be- 
tween the  cape  and  the  point  of  the  ledge.  You  should  likew  isc  observe  here, 
to  keep  clear  of  the  ledge,  to  keep  a  part  of  the  Butt  (which  is  a  high  spot  of 
land  in  the  middle  of  St.  Joachim's  tneadow,  and  appears  like  a  platform  or 
islan(l)  always  shut  in  behind  Cape  Torment ;  that  is  you  must  not  open  it 
all  of  the  cape  until  Burnt  cape  bears  N.  of  you,  or  you  will  certainly  be  ou 
the  ledge.  The  soundings  at  the  edge  of  this  ledge  arc  very  uncertain,  for  at 
one  cast  you  will  have  3  fathoms,  and  at  the  very  next  cast  (heaving  the  lead 
fast)  you  may  be  on  shore.  It  may  be  observed,  that  just  as  you  have  S/. 
John's  point  opening,  there  is  not  any  more  water  any  where  in  the  channel, 
between  Orleans  shoal  and  the  shoal  off  Burnt  Cape,  than  5  fathoms,  at  hjw 
water ;  but  after  you  have  bore  up  for  Orleans,  there  is  6  and  7  fathoms  at 
low  water,  within  a  ship's  length  of  the  sands  that  dry.

from  the  land,  the  current  runs,  in  general,  to  the  S.W.  westward. 

If  you  fall  in  with  Mount  Dcsat  rock,  wl.ich  lies  S.  0'  leagues  from  Mount

go  clear  of  Bantam  ledge,  wiiich  lie^east  'i^  leagues  from  Srgiiinc  :  continue 
this  course  till  you  are  5  leni(ues  from  the  light  (or  (ill  the  lij^ht  is  nearly  run 
down)  then  liuul  up  north  till  you  make  Vmmequid  point,  from  ^vhence  you 
may  steer  for  George's  river,  as  above  directed.  If  you  should  mact  with  the 
wind  a-heati,  you  may  anchor  oft"  Gaif's  cove,  taking  care  to  avoid  a  sunken 
ledije,  which  lies  Ciust  from  Ga/n  cove,  near  the  middle  of  the  channel,  and 
lias  4  feet  water  at  low  water.  This  ledge  must  be  left  on  your  larboard  hand 
keejiing  *C(ildurll's  isfa/id  close  on  board.  Gai/'a  cove  lies  on  your  larboard 
hand  about  3  miles  to  the  E.N.K.  of  FraiiUin's  is'nitd.  Vou  may  know  this 
cove,  as  Gui/'s  house  and  barn  lie  to  the  N.W.  of  it.  But  if  you  are  bound 
throuji;h  Herring  gut,  brin^fCapt.  Ilenderson's  house  to  bear  N.N.W.  and 
steer  S.S.  li.  for  Ilerriitg  gut.  This  Herring  gut  has  a  bar  from  side  to  side, 
but  you  may  go  over  it  at  two  hours  Hood,  keeping  your  larboard  hand  best  on 
board.  As  you  come  on  the  bar  you  wili  see  a  laij;e  rock  on  your  starboard 
hand,  and  the  deepest  water  is  within  a  cable's  length  of  the  rock  ;  your 
course  over  the  bar  is  S.S.E.  You  may  anchor  to  the  N.W.  of  the  bar,  in 
4-  or  5  fathoms,  muddy  bottom,  and  wait  for  the  tide.  The  tide  of  flood  sets 
to  the.  northward  and  the  ebb  to  the  southward. 

When  you  go  out  of  this  harbour,  and  bound  to  the  eastward,  be  careful 
and  give  the  larboard  hand  a  good  birth,  for  there  arc  two  lc<lges  of  rocks  ok 
the  same  hand  of  the  eastern  point,  which  areund«-r  water,  and  lie  otfabouta 
cable's  length.  When  you  are  clear  of  these  ledges,  you  may  steer  E.  by  S. 
or  E.S.K.  one  mile  to  a  barren  island,  which  you  leave  on  tiie  larboard  and 
3  or  4  islands  or  letlgcs  on  the  starboard  hand.  When  you  pass  these  ledgcn 
and  Musqiiito  islands,  if  bound  to  ll'/iite  luad,  you  may  steer  N.  E.  by  E.  2 
leagues,  and  when  you  bring  said  head  to  bear  N.E.  run  for  if,  but  when  you 
pass  the  S.W.  White  head,  leave  it  on  your  larboard  hand,  and  be  careful  of 
a  sunken  rock  that  lies  S.E.  from  the  eastern  White  head,  about  one  cable's 
Icui'th  distant.  \ dur  course  through  to  the  eastwanl  is  N.E.  and  fo  the  west- 
ward  S.W.  keeping  near  the  middle  of  the  passage.  Before  you  come  up  with 
Aah  point,  you  must  be  careful  of  a  sunken  rock,  w  liifh  lies  otf  the  point  about 
one  third  of  the  psssage,  which  has  not  mute  ilian  G  feet  of  water  at  low  wa- 
ter. But  if  you  should  f?o  lhroui;h  this  passage  in  the  night,  keep  Polatje 
island  (which  is  right  against  //;//  island,  about  S.S.W.  from  it,  and  bare  of 
trees,  which  you  leave  on  your  starboard  hand)  best  on  board.  VX'lien  you 
pass  Putatoe  island,  and  ate  bound  into  Oul's  head,  your  course  is  N.N.E. 
about  2  miles,  wliich  will  leave  two  islands  on  the  starboard  hand.  When 
you  open  the  passage  to  Oxi:l's  head,  and  bound  to  Edi.ymavoggan  reach, yonv 
course  is  N.E.  by  N.  till  you  pass  the  Lime  iJiinds,  which  you  leave  on  your 
larboard  hand.  Continue  said  course  till  you  make  a  large  bare  rock  on  your 
starboard  hand,  aiivl  a  little  round  island  to  the  eastward,  on  the  same  hand, 
which  is  covered  with  ti-es.  Continue  your  course  to  the  N.E.  and  you 
will  make  a  large  island  on  your  starboard  hand.  When  you  pass  tliis  island, 
you  have  the  passase  opened  to  Buck's  harbour ;  continue  your  course  N.E. 
till  you  pass  by  all  the  islands,  to  the  soutluvard  ami  northward.  In  the  day 
time  you  may  see  Blue  hill  bearing  E.N.E.  over  all  the  land.  This  passage 
is  safe  to  go  thronah  with  a  first  rate  man  of  w:;r. 

When  you  come  wiiliin  '2  miles  of  the  Ucach,  you  will  make  a  small  inland

Capt.  Hodgson's  you  will  st-e  a  bare  ledgcon  your  larboard  liaiul,  if  it  is  low 
water,  wbicii  is  covcreil  at  high  water  ;  you  may  anchor  in  8  fathoms  to  the 
northward  of  it. 

If  you  want  logo  up  to  Wistassct  poiiif,  you  must  keep  yourstarboiirti  hhnd 
best  a-board,  north  easterly,  till  you  come  to  Cross  ikcr,  which  you  leave  on 
your  starboard  hand.  You  will  not  attempt  to  go  up  to  fl'isiassct  point  with 
ahead  wind  and  tide  of  ebb,  for  it  is  3  leagues  from  C'ro.ss  river ;  but  when 
you  have  a  fair  wind  and  tide,  >ou  may  proceed  without  I'ear.  This  river  is 
narrow  and  lies  more  to  the  westward  ;  when  you  arc  about  a  mile  or  a  mile 
and  nn  half  up,  you  must  keepyour  larboard  hahd  best  on  board,  lur  there  is  si 
ledge  of  rocks  which  reachesnearhalf  way  across  the  river,  which  is  on  your 
starboard  hand,  and  the  rock  near  the  middle  is  covered  at  high  water,  but 
^  may  be  seen  two  hours  before.  The  river  runs  strait  to  Decker's  varroxif;, 
then  turns  round  to  the  westward  :  when  you  enter  these  narrows  you  may  sit; 
the  town.  In  cast-  you  should  go  up  in  the  night,  you  must  be  careful  of  two 
large  rocks  that  lie  W.S.W.  of  these  narrows  J  the  tiile  of  flood  sets  very  strong 
for  them,  and  they  arc  never  covered  ;  you  may  go  on  either  side  of  tln.-in, 
and  may  anchor  in  10  or  12  fathoms  water,  muddy  lx)ttom. 

It  is  high  watt-r  here,  at  full  and  change  of  the  moon,  about  three  quarters 
of  an  hour  sooner  than  at  Hoston.

Dlreclions  for  sailing  Into  New  IVIcatlows. 

THIS  river  bears  N.E.  S  league^  distant  from  Cape  Elizabeth,  and  about 
one  league  from  Snuill  point.  If  you  ;-luiuld  fall  into  this  Lay  with  the  wind 
at  S.E.  or  S.S.K.  and  bound  to  the  eastward,  you  may  make  a  good  iiarbour 
in  the  above  river.  In  standing  to  the  northward  you  will  have  a  large  round 
island  on  your  starboard  hand,  covered  with  spruce  trees,  together  with  two 
large  rocks,  one  called  the  Uruun  Cou;  and  the  other  the  H  /lilc  Bull,  which 
arc  some  distance  from  each  other,  ^'ou  must  leave  the  Broun  Cow  on  your 
starboard, and  the  li'/iitf  Bull oi\  your  larboaiJ  hand,  the  latter  of  which  you 
may  go  within  a  cable's  length  of,  and  when  you  have  pi\sscd  it,  must  stand 
over  for //w.sf  island,  that  lies  on  the  starboiird,  which  has  a  luiuseon  it,  that 
you  m^y  g(»  within  a  f|uarter  of  a  mile  of.  To  tlie  westward  ol'the  island  lies 
a  large  rock,  which  is  covere<l  at  high  water,  but  bare  at  half  tide  ;  you  may 
go  on  either  side  of  it  when  it  is  in  sight,  but  the  widest  passage  i»  to  tiie 
eastward.  When  you  have  |)assed  this  rock,  steer  N.  by  W.  or  N.N.W.  which 
course  will  carry  you  up  witii  a  large  i;^ land,  called  Bear  island,  which  is  cov- 
ered with  spruce  and  birch  trees.  When  you  have  passed  this  island  about 
one  quarter  of  a  mile,  you  may  haul  in  for  the  starboard  thorc,  and  anchor  in 
5  or  6"  fathoms  water.  This  is  the  best  place  to  anchor,  wit!i  the  wind  at  S.S.I'.. 
or  East,  but  be  careful  of  a  ledge  of  rocks,  tliat  runs  to  the  northward  of  tliis 
island,  about  half  a  nnleoff.  You  may  anchor  in  this  bay  according  as  the 
wind  may  be;  if  it  should  beat  the  westward,  you  may  anchor  on  the  west 
side  of  the  bay  ;  and  if  to  the  eastward,  anchor  (m  the  east  side.  If  you  have 
lost  your  cables  and  anchors,  tiicre  is  a  large  cove  on  the  starboard  Ir.tnd, 
about  2  miles  from  Bear  island,  bearing  about  N.  which  is  sufficient  to  hold

If  you  come  from  the  eastward  and  make  Segiiine  idund,  bring  it  to  beaf 
E.  and  steer  W.  for  Husse/s  sound,  if  you  have  a  fair  wind  and  day  U<»ht,  M 
you  have  notliin^  but  islands  on  your  starboard  hand.  The  tide  of  flood  sett 
vcM-y  stronj;  in  between  tliese  ishiiids ;  when  you  get  within  2  mile*  of  Htim\v's

When  you  pass  the  two  islands,  after  entering  Himei/  s  sound,  you  leave 
three  i:,Urnds  on  vour  larboai'J,  and  two  islands  on  your  starboard  hand  ;  the 
northernisknd,  on  your  starboard, is  called  Smil/t's  island;  when  >ou  pass 
said  island  about.?  of  a  mile,  you  may  haul  away  K.N.K.  till  you  shut  in 
said  island  to  the  S.K.  then  you  in;iv  anchor  in  8  orf)  fathoms,  muddy  bottom.

THESE  hills  lie  N.W.  from  Portland,  and  N.N.W.  from  ll'wd  idanil 
\  ou  may  see  them  in  clear  weather,  when  no  other  part  of  the  land  is  in 
siiiht.  At  the  first  sight  they  appear  like  a  cloud,  ami  are  always  v,nite,  cc- 
t  iieioned,  it  is  said,  by4hcir  being  covered  with  white  moss.  They  have  been 
seen  when  in  bit.  43,  10,  N.  being  46  miles  from  Cape  Elizabeth.  The  denth 
«t  water  in   the  above  latitude    is  80  fathoms,  muddy  bottom.     When  you 

and  V.  hen  bearing  W.  by  N.  6  or  7  leagues,  they  appear  like  three  hills,  and 

he  smllest  of  them  to, he  eastward.     At  the  same   time,   you   will    make

I  would  recommend  to  all  mariners,   in  coming  fr.m  the  eastward,  not  t» 
go  to  the  northward  of  hit.  43,  10,  N.  in  thick  weather,  unless  they  arc  well

ns  this  has  proved  fatal  to  many  who  were  unacquainted.  ' 

Between  .^e/zcj^',  and  the  hlc  of  f>hoals  you  will  have  70  and  75  fathoms 
water,  muddy  bottom,  and  a  strong  current  setting  to  the  S.W  Vou  may 
sec  the  hies  of  Slwals  5  or  6'  leagues,  when  you  are  to  the  eastward  of  them, 
but  in  thick  weather  you  will  sec  the  meeting-house  first,  which  is  on  one  of 
11.0  islands.  W  hen  you  go  to  the  westward  of  these  islands.and  are  bound  to

Directions  from  Cape  Porpoise  to  Wood  Island. 

WOOD  ISLAND,  which  is  high  woody  land,  and  verj-  even,  lies  N.E. 
V  leagues  (.istant  from  Cape  Porpoise.  You  may  go  into  this  harbour  either 
*t  the  eastward  or  westward  of  the  island.  There  are  several  rocks  to  the 
ivpstward  of  the  island,  and  likewise  a  long  bar  which  lies  to  the  S.W  about 
one  quarter  of  a  mile  distant.  When  you  have  the  wind  to  the  southward, 
\mi  may  lay  your  course  in,  gnd  anchor  near  Stage  island;  this  is  called 
n  inter  harbovr  You  may  go  in  the  eastern  way,  and  have  iot«n  to  turn 
your  vessel,  (which  is  ati  advantage  you  cannot  liave  in  going  in  to  tbe  west- 
ward) but  here  you  are  exposed  to  the  wind  at  N.E.  and  E.N.E.  but  if  your  ' 
cables  and  anchors  rre  not  good,  you  may  run  into  the  Pool,  and  lie  safe 
Irom  all  winds. 

Saco  lies  about  a  league  to  the  northwest,  but  is  a  barred  place,  and  has 
not  above  10  feet,  at  high  water,  which  makes  it  not  fit  for  a  sfrancer  to 
go  in  ;  there  is,  however,  considerable  navigation  owned  here,  and  the  inhab- 
itants arc  enterprising.

iire^well  acquainted,  or  in  distress.  In  Roing  in,  you  must  leave  two  small 
islands  on  your  larboard  hnnd,  and  three  on  your  starboard.  It  maybe 
known  by  the  high  land  of  Kcnnelnink,  which  lies  to  the  N.W.  of  it.  NVhcn 
the  *hjvrbour  bears  N.W.  you  must  haul  in,  but  be  careful  oi  the  point  on 
your  larboard  hand,  and  n..t  go  too  near  it,  as  it  is  very  rocky.  As  soon  as 
vou  are  in  the  haibcur,  and  clear  of  the  point  of  rocks  on  your  Marboan 
h-Hul,  your  course  must  be  N.W.  about  two  cable's  length,  when  you  must 
come  too.  and  moor  N.E.  and  S.W.  A  vessel  that  draws  10  leet  will  be 
aground  at  low  vvalc-r.  The  harbour  is  so  narrow  that  a  vessel  cannot  tuni

aii'i,  and  is  covered  at  iialf  tide.  If  you  arc  bound  to  the  eastward  from  this 
port,  you  stei-r  S.  by  V..  one  league  Jron-'.  the  iJj>ht-house,  then  steer  N.N. I'.. 
Utr  0/(1  l'i»/(  or  Capr  AVv/e/oc/,  which  is  4  leagues  from  Portxmovth ;  but  if 
the  wind  should  come  from  the  northward  you  must  Lc  careful  o{York  ledge, 
which  bears  I'vom  Sxictl'x  point  S.K.  distant  2  learjues.  'J  here  is  u  sunken 
ledge  that  lies  S.W.  one  mile  from  Ycrk  /nlgr-n  i;,  never  bate,  but  always 
breaks  at  low  water,  and  is  called  the  Tririiig/e.  Suxnv  part  of  York  ledge  is 
bare  at  half  tide. 

The  next  you  come  to  is  Boon  inland  (on  which  is  a  high  beacon,  in  th« 
form  of  u  light-house,  which  lies  S.F„  from  Cape  Xeddiick,  or  the  JS noble,  so 
called.)  When  you  pass  Hooii  island,  bound  to  the  eastward,  and  take  the 
wind  at  N.N.K.  you  must  take  care  of  a  ledge  of  rocks  duo  N.  from  Boon 
island,  one  mile  distant. 

[N.  K.  1  have  passed  this  place  several  times,  but  never  discovered  the 
ledge  till  the  year  1783,  when  being  bound  to  the  eastward,  the  wind  took 
me  from  the  westward,  but  the  vessel  having  no  more  than  steerage  way,  I 
hove  over  a  line  to  catch  a  (ish,  and  found  I  had  2+  fathoms  water,  sandy 
bottom,  and  in  a  few  minutes  I  had  but  10  feet  of  water,  and  my  vessel 
«lrawing  nine :  all  that  saved  me  from  striking  was,  tint  the  water  bein" 
entirely  smooth,  the  current  set  me  to  the  eastward,  and  I  got  in}o  C4 
f:ithoms  within  the  length  of  the  vessel  from  where  I  sounded,  and  had  but 
10  feet.] 

'I'he  worst  ledge  that  I  know  on  our  eastern  shore,  is  Boon  island  ledge^ 
which  bears  east  from  Boon  island,  distant  1  league ;  and  from  Agementicus 
hill,  it  bears  S.E.  5  or  6"  leagues.  It  is  not  sr.fe  for  strangers  to  go  very  near 
this  ledge,  for  several  of  the  rocks  aie  to  be  seen,  long  before  low  water. 

When  you  come  in  from  sea,  and  make  Agimenticvs  hill,  bearing  N;W. 
by  N.  you  are  then  to  the  westward  of  Boon  inland  ledge ;  but  when  the  said 

hill    bears   N.W.  by  W.  you  may   be  sure  you  arc  to  the  eastward  of  it.

a  Meeting-house  has  been  erected  on  Star  island  (one  of  the  above  islands) 
which,  from  its  situation,  cannot  tail  ot  being  ad\antageous,  as  u  (and- mark,

removed;  the  mark  to  pass  between  then»  is  to  bring  the  beuciin,  at  the  west 
end  of  the  town  of  Ncii:buri//jort  (whitli  may  be  distinctly  seen  i.i  clem-  wea-

S.W.  from  SalUburi)  pmnt,  which  makes  tiic  chiinnel  very  narrow,  and  tlilii- 
cult  for  stranger;;.     Wlieii  you  pass  llie  Wack  rucks,  you  "imist  haul  up  W.  by 
S.  I  8.  which  will  brin^  you  in   channel  way,  and  good  anchorage.     And  if 
it   be  in   the   nij^ht,    or   dark    weather,    when    you  jud  ,c   vour>elf  about 
half  a  mile  from  J3/atA  rocks,  you  may  come  too  with  sai»;t>".     J  would  re- 
commend to  all  masters,  whether  they  belong  to  Xiubiiri/port  or  not,  to  a- 
void  coming  into  tWn  port  in  a  gale  of  easterly  wind,  except  they  are  well  at- 
(juainted,  and  have  a  good  jjrospect  of  tsetim:;  in,  as  every  peison  who  be- 
longs there  must  know  tlitU  no  pilot  can  get  over  the  bar  when  it  blows  a  nula 
from  the  eastward.     And  if  you  should  make  Cape  Ann  lights,  and  bring  liieni 
to  bear  8,  by  E.  or  the  Dry  Salvages  to  bear  S.  by  K.  you  may  run  with  safe* 
ty  N.  by  W.  or  N.  §  \V.  diitant  10  leagues  from  Cnpc  Ann  to  Portmoitth. 
In  running  the  above  course,  you  will   make  the  Ms  if  Hhuals,  if  it  is  any- 
way clear,  from  which  you  take  a  new  departure  ;  when  you  pass  the  .-aid 
inlands,  you  bring  Star  island  (on  which  the  meeting  hou.se  stands,  and  which 
is  the  S,\V.  island)  to  bear  S.S.F-.  and  then  steer  N.N.W.  distant  from  s.iic! 
island  3  leagues  to  Portsmouth.     Tiiere  is  a  very  good  harbour  in  the  J,v/u  of 
Shoals,   from  the  wind  from  northeasterly  round  to  southerly,  and  you  mtw  lie 
landlocked  with  anyofthcm;  but  if  the  windhaulsto  thcS.W.  or  W.N. W.  you 
may  run  otit  between  Smutti^  nose  island,  which  l;as  a  wind-mjil  on  ir',  and 
Hog  island,  where  there  is  water  enough  for  a  first  rate  man  of  war;  and 
where  you  anchor,  you  have  12  fathoms  muddy  hottom. 

In  going  into  Portsmouth,  you  may  bring  the  light-hou<;c  to  bear  N.N.W. 
till  you  get  within  Wood  island :  then  you  may  hsrjl  away  N.  or  N.  by  E.  till 
you  pass  the  lii',ht-hotJse  ;  you  mity  "then  i:.iu!  up  W.N.W.  of  N.'w.  by  W. 
and  bring  the  light-iiou.e  point  to  shut  in  with  Wood  island,  where  you  will 
be  safe  from  all  winds,  and  n>ay  am.iior  in  8  or  9  fath<)nis  water. 

When  you  come  from  the  eastward,  with  th.,-  wind  at  E.  or  K.S.E.  with 
which  wind  you  cannot  weather  away  Cape  Ann,  and  yoU  are  to  ti;c  northward 
of  the  Isles  of  Shoals,  your  only  sliitt  is  to  Portsmouth,  and  you  arc  obli-od  to 
run  so  far  to  the  westward  as  to  bring  said  port  to  bear  N.N.W.  and  itt^iienc- 
val  the  wind  at  E.  at  sea  hauls  two  or  three  points  to  the  northward  which 
makes  it  a  head  wind.     [See  the  Plate]  '

tiiiicc  when  obliged  tt)  m;ike  h  harbour  tVoni  I/iswicJi  Ixiy,  through  stress  of 
weutlier.  When  a  vessel  at  anchor  off  Nexvburi/jwrt  bar,  par's  a  cable,  and 
loses  an  anchor,  with  the  wind  at  N.I',  or  K.N.Ii.  if  she  ci»n  carry  double 
reefed  8HiI«,  she  may  run  S.S.Ii.  5  lea<>ues,  which  course,  if  made  good,  will 
carry  her  a  Utile  to  the  eajstward  of  Sijiiam  bar ;  and  if  tlie  weather  is  so  clear 
Rs  to  see  half  a  inJIc  when  you  make  tlie  land  to  the  eastward  lA'  Sjtiain,  you 
may  run  witliiii  a  cable's  len^th  of  the  shore  ;  your  course  is  S.S.W. 

SijiifiiH  if»r  bears  from  Ha't<r^bout point  (the  N.K.  pointofCn/ie  Ai.n)  from 
!W.S.\V.  to  S.AV.  ilistiint  about  2  leagues.  In  running;  from  HaHouboaf  point, 
you  must  be  careful  I'lf  Plumh  cure  Ivilgf,  which  shews  itself  till  near  hijili  wa- 
ter, and  bears  from  *Sqvam  I'gbt  N.N.K.  a  little  northerly,  di>-tance  fiv« 
eighths  of  H  rmle.  When  you  have  passed  this  ledge,  you  leave  a  deep  cove, 
called  Hodi^kins'  cove,  aud  a  long  point  or  neck  of  land,  called  Darin'  iicd;  on 
your  larboard  baud.  When  up  with  thisneck  haul  S.W.orS.W.  by  W.  for 
Sqiiam  bar. 

In  sailiii^  into  this  harbour  bring  the  light  to  bear  due  S.  vvhon  at  the  dis- 
tance of  one  mile,  and  run  directly  for  it,  leaving  Ilaradan's  rock  (which  lie* 
N.  by  E.  I  E.  from  the  light  distant  gths  of  a  mile)  on  your  larboard  hand; 
continue  your  course  till  within  50  yards  of  the  light-house ;  then  haul  up 
S.S.W.  for  ilie  P>ar  rock,  leaving  the  light-house  on  your  larboard,  and  the 
bar  (whi'Ji  iiins  nearly  N.K.  and  S.W.  leaving  the  nver  about  .90  fathoms 
broad,  opposite  the  light-house)  on  your  starboard  hand.  In  running  this 
coui-sc  you  will  leave  the  Lohdcr  rocks  (which  lie  S.  by  W.  from  tlie  iighf- 
house,  tlistant  200  yards,  and  arc  dry  at  low  water) on  your  larboard  hand. 
When  up  with  the  Bar  rocks  (which  lie  on  the  starboard  hand,  and  are  dry 
till  nearly  high  water)  steer  S.  by  V..  %  K.  till  you  open  the  houses,  and  you 
may  anchor  in  from  3.|i  to  5  fathoms  clear  saiidy  bottt>m  ;  or  run  y.nir  vessel 
on  shf;rc  on  the  starboard  hand,  in  case  you  have  neither  cables  nor  anchors. 

When  a  stranger  is  oblrgfd  to  run  for  Squatn  harhourraiid  is  doubtful  whe- 
ther to  enter  on  account  of  the  depth  of  water,  he  had  better  anchor  back  of 
the  b.ir,  and  he  will  immediately  have  assistance  from  the  light-house,,  if  it  is 
possible  for  a  boat  to  iiVe ;  if  the  weather  is  soboisterous  that  n  boat  caTinot 
come  off,  njiag  v.iil  be  hoisted  on  shore  near  the  light  house,  as  stion  as  there 
is  watei- enough  f.^r  a  vessei  onthe  bar,  when  he  may  run  in  as  above  dirsctcd. 

If  you  arc  bound  to  Ipss-icb,  your  course  from  Hallowboat  pitiiit  to  the 
mouth  of  the  channel  that  h-ads  into  the  harbour,  is  W.  h  N.  distant  about  8 
miles.  There  are  nvo  beacons  erected  a  sma'l  distance  to  the  southward  of 
Caifle  hifl,  which  may  be  run  for,  but  as  the  bar  is  oiten  removed  liy  storms,

liiaht,  bi'iiu  them  to  bear  S.W.  and  run  dirott  tor  tlu-ni,  which  cour>e  will 
carry  you  withm  the  Londoner,  and  vhcn  you  pa^slhe  said  rocks,  bring  the 
two  lights  in  one,  at  wiiicli  time  they  will  bear  N.  by  Iv  J  E.  and  S.  by  W.  ij' 
W.  and  then  steer  Sj.S.W.  J  W.  keeping  «aid  course  aliout  ofle  mile,  whiih  will 
carry  you  ck'Uf  of  MUk  ufaud,  which  is  very  low  and  cannot  Le  seen  in  a  dark 
iiii^ht.  When  you  judge  youi>elf  to  tlw  westward  of  said  i^land,  you  haul  to 
tiie  westward  until  you  brinj?  the  lights  to  bear  li.N.I"..  when  you  must  steer 
W.S.W.  about  5  miles,  which  course  will  carry  you  to  En^Urii  point.  W  hen 
you  piu!)  said  point,  keep  your  course  W.N.W.  until  you  !  ring  Cuj^Ahii  bar- 
h)ur  to  bear  N.  when  your  course  is  N.E. 

If  you  want  to  go  inside  the  Salvages,  keep  dose  aboard  IJnffovboat  point, 
which  has  a  tree  on  the  eastern  part  of  it,  and  steer  S.S.K.  for  Strain' s-moutk 
islfiiid,  but  be  careful  to  avoid  Axcry's  rod,  by  keeping  fiie  lights  on  the  dry- 
point  of  5//a/J''.«-moH^4  iibinil,  till  you  get  up  close  abourd,  tliin  haul  rounJ 
the  point,  and  S.S.K.  will  carry  you  to  the  li5;l;ts.  'lo  nvoiti  the  Londoner, 
you  must  keep  the  li;:hts  close  aboard  the  boily  of  the  island,  on  which  they 
stand ;  the  Londomr  lies  half  a  mile  »)«",  breaks  at  all  times  of  tide,  is  quite 
dry  at  low  water,  and  bears  E.S.E.  frcm  the  middle  of  Thatcher's  inland.  A 
long  shoal  runs  ofi'  N.H.  half  a  mile  di-tant  from  the  Londoner.  Between  the 
Londoner  and 'J hafi/ler'.s  i'^hnd  thvYe.  are  3A  fathoms,  at  low  water.  From 
the  Sakxiges  to  Halhrvhoat  point,  and  bandy  bay,  there  lies  a  large  spot  of  flat 
ground,  which  at  low  water  will  take  up  a  small  vessel.  Outside  the  5a/ra- 
ges  is  very  bold.  Halluuboat  point  bears  from  the  Salvages  W.N.W.  2^  miles 
distant,  and  the  Sak ages  bear  from  the  lights  N.  N.E.  3  miles  tiii^ant.  I f  the 
wind  be  to  the  eastward,  ycu  may  anchor  in  a  bay  that  tnakes  between  Ten 
yomd  island  und  Eastern  point,  the  latter  bearing  ^5.  by  E.  and  I  en  pound 
island  bearing  N.  Here  you  may  anchor  in  4  fathoms  water,  on  muddy  bot- 
tom. This  is  a  good  harbour  against  easterly  winds,  but  it  the  wind  be  S.  W, 
vou  are  exposed  to  il,  in  which  case  you  may  clear  away  Tea  pound  island, 
leaving  said  i-land  on  your  starboard  hand,  and  steer  into  the  faarbour,  ai 
above  directed,  and  come  too  near  Five  pound  Island. 

Note.  In  sailing  from  Cape  Ann  lights  to  Cape  Ann  harbour,  you  will  first 
open  Braces  cove,  before  you  come  up  with  the  hat  hour,  which  will,  when 
open,  bear  N.N.W.  which  you  are  to  avoid.  Cape  Am  harbour  lies  one  mil* 
further  to  the  westward,  and  when  open  beara  N.N.E.

which  will  carry  them  up  with  the  lights  on  Baker's  island. 

Ships  bound  to  Salem,  falling  to  the  southward,  and  running  for  the  lights, 
must,  when  they  have  made  them,  keep  the  northern,  or  lower  light  open  to

bears  from  the  lights  S.l'.  by  S.  two  miles  distiint,  and  is  very  tJangcroui. 

V'osselH  bound  to  Salmi,  having  made  the  lights  with  a  westerly  wind,  in 
beating  up,  must  not  stami  to  the  southward  or  westward,  further  than  to 
shut  one  light  in  with  the  other,  on  account  of  the  South  brrakcr,  nor  to  the 
mnthward  further  than  to  b'ing  the  lights  to  bear  \V.  by  S  J  S.  on  account 
o(  Gale's  ledge,  which  bears  from  the  lights  N.l".  by  \\.  1^  miles  distant. 

In  going  into  Salem,  by  the  common,  or  ship  channel,  between  Baker's 
i.s/rtwrf  and  (/;)  Miserji  ixlund,  beini;  up  with  Baker's  islaiiil,  you  may  pass 
•within  100  fathoms  of  it,  and  steer  W.  by  N.  for  the  (c)  Unste ;  this  course 
will  carry  you  clear  of  (d)  Huidy's  ro>.is,  leaving  them  to  the  southward,  and 
Mill  leave  (f)  Bnwditch's  ledge  to  the  northward.  If  you  are  in  the  mid|)as- 
sage  between  Baker's  island  and  the  Misery,  you  may  steer  NV'.N.W.  till  you 
have  pa«ed  Bouditcli'sUdgc,  or  till  you  get  <J  )  Cat  island  open  to  the  west- 
ward of  (g)  Eagle  inland,  then  haul  up  W.  for  the  llmte  ;  any  stranger  may 
there  anchor  in  safety,  in  about  5  futlioms  of  water,  goodanchorafie;  but  if 
you  choose  to  proceed  into  Sulem  liarhou t  ,ym\  must  steer  about  \V.  for  the 
//fl*^*,  which  you  will  leave  on  your  larboard  hand,  about  half  a  mile  dis- 
tant, then  steer  S.W.  by  \V.  which  will  carry  you  into  Salem  harbour  ;  but 
you  must  observe  that  there  is  a  ledge  runs  ofl  from  the  N.K.  end  of  (//)  Win- 
ter island  and  that  Abbot's  rock  lies  abreast  oi  it ;  to  avoid  which  you  must 
keep  above  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the  shore.  Jbbofi  rock  is  found  by 
bringing  Ctistle  /ijV/and  house  into  the  cove  N.  of  Fort  Vichering,  and  Btverlif 
meeting  house  well  in  with  Juniper  point  (or  S.K.  point  of  Salem  neck.)  Ab- 
bot's rock  has  7  feet  at  common  ebli.  The  rr.ran  of  common  tides  is  12  feet, 
In  iiceping  offshore,  to  avoid  Abbot's  rock,  you  must  not  go  too  far  off,  for 
fear  of  the  Aqua:  I'ita;  which  are  sunken  rocks,  lying  E.S.L.  from  Fort  Pick-

Directioni  for  sailing  into  Boston  i^IarbouT. 

If  bound  to  Boston  from  the  southward,  cross  0'cor^f'.v  bank  in  latitud* 
42°  10'  N.  in  which  the  siionlest  water  you  have  will  bo  36"  fathoms,  from 
which  you  steer  W.  by  N.  1  N.  4.>  leagues,  and  if  clear  wenthcr  you  will  sec 
Ca/»e  y//i«  on  your  starboard  hand  and  *Ca]ie  Cod  an  jc\h  larboard  hand. 
Take  care  not  to  go  to  the  iiortlrviu -.1  of  i2°  40',  for  fear  of  Casfie's  Inlfir, 
which  lies  K.  h  N.  23  leaguns  from  Cape  Ann.  From  C'rt/ic  Ann  to  Boston 
•flijiht-house  the  course  is  S.W.  distiiiice  8^  lea-u;s.  After  makini»  thtlif^ht, 
with  the  wind  fair,  you  will  bring  it  to  bear  W.  by  N.  or  W.NAV.  and  then 
run  for  it,  till  you  come  within  two  cable's  lenj^th  of  it.  If  the  weather  is  bad, 
and  you  cannot  get  a  pilot  from  the  liuht-house,  alter  running  abreast  of  it, 
so  us  to  bring  it  to  bear  N.  by  V..  you  may  run  W.  by  .S.  about  Ij  mile  to 
Xaulaxket  road,  where  you  may  anchor  in  from  7  to  5  fathoms  in  safety. 

To  work  into  lioifuii  biii/ you  may  stand  tollie  southward  till  you  bring  the 
linht  to  bear  W.N.W.  and  to  the  northward  till  you  bring  it  to  bear  W.S.W. 
till  you  come  within  one  league  of  the  light ;  then  you  must  not  stand  to  llu* 
northward  any  further  than  to  bring  it  to  bear  W.  by  N.  and  to  the  southward 
to  bring  it  to  bear  W.N.W.  You  may  anchor  in  the  bay  with  safety  if  the 
wind  is  ctt'  the  shore.  If  you  fall  to  the  southward  of  Hast  on  harbour,  be  care- 
ful to  avoid  Cohassd  rocks,  which  lie  above  water  i-ome  distance  from  the  land, 
the  outer  part  of  which,  called  Minot'srock,  has  a  black  buoy  on  it,  that  lies 
in  5  fathoms  water,  which  you  leave  on  your  larboard  hand.  Your  course 
from  this  buoy  to  the  light-house  is  N.W.  J  N.  distant  3  leagues.  In  running 
the  abqvc  course  and  distance, you  will  pass  a  white  buoy  which  lies  in  4  fath- 
oms water,  that  is  on  the  N.E.  part  of  Hardens  rocks,  and  bears  S.E.  J  S. 
from  ilio  light-house,  distant  ij  league,  which  rocks  may  be  seen  2  hours  be- 
fore low  water,  tl\at  you  also  leave  on  your  larbour.l  hand.  There  is  another 
buoy  on  yciur  larboard  hand,  which  is  red,  that  lies  in  3  fathoms  wafer  on 
Voint  Aidtiton.  When  in  tiie  middle  of  the  light-house  channel  steer  W.  by 
N.  1  mile  distant,  to  the  beacon  on  the  spit,  wiiich  you  may  run  within  \ 
of  a  cable's  leiight  of,  leaving  it  on  your  starboard  haiu!,  opposite  to  which 
lies  a  black  buoy  in  2  fathoms  water,  on  George's  island  rocks.     Between  the

the  Hi<rh  tiv.vs  in  range  with  Captain's  hill,  wliich  will  then  hear  W.  by  S. 
This  IccijiC  ot  rocks  lies  li  mile  (loni  Hie  shore,  extending  about  N.N.E.  for 
IH'ur  a  mile,  and  close  to  "this  ledge  you  will  have  4  and  5  fathoms,  which 
deepens  graduiilly  as  you  run  from  it  to  the  eastward  ;  within  I  mile  you  will 
huTc  10  and  12  tiithonis. 

In  coming froiij  the  southward,  bound  into  Pliimoiith,  you  must  not  open  the 
northern  Jis»lit  to  the  westward,  but  keep  them  in  «>ne,  which  will  carry  you  in 
5  fathoms  liy  the  easternmost  part  of  Rromi's  islands  or  shoat,  keeping  that 
couDP  until  yoa  are  within  halt  a  mile  oi  Gurnet  Avail,  or  nigher,  where  you 
will  have  but  4  lathums  ;  tlien  Snguash  head  will  bear  VV.  by  N.  a  little  north- 
erly, and  the  two  outermost  trees  on  the  head  in  one  ;  then  you  may  steer  di- 
rectly lor  them,  untilyou  bring  thelight-house  to  bear  li.  N.  tl. and  the  house 
on  i>a<juash  to  benr  N.  \V.  just  open  with  the  first  Sandy  htach,  where  you  may 
anchor  in  4  fathoms  in  Saquash  nxid,  <»ood  clear  bottom  ;  but  if  you  are  bound 
for  Plymouth,  or  the  Cuvyardi,  ^o\x  nmst  steer  as  before  directed.  If  in  the 
higlit,  it  is  best  to  ahchor  here,  as  it  js  difKcult  to  make  Be^ch  joint,  if  dark, 
or  to  go  into  the  Cuuyard. 

^n  turning  into  Tlymouth,  you  must  not  stand  to  the  northward  into  less 
than  3  fathoms,  hs  it  runs  a  flafalongway  from  xh^Gurnet  head  to  Saquash  : 
iand  from  both  the  heads  lies  off  a  point  of  rocks  a  good  way  from  the  shore, 
lAany  of  them  but  just  under  water  at  low  ebbs.  And  all  the  way  from  Sa- 
quash to  the  Mmdtbcnii,  you  have  shoal  water;  so  that  you  must  not  stand 
in  less' than  before  mentiotied.  And  in  standing  over  for  the  sands  to  the 
isouthward,  you  must  %o  about  as'soon  as  jou  have  shoalen  your  water  to  4 
fathohis,  as  it  is  bdld  too,  and  you  may'observe  the  rips,  unless  it  is  very 
Sr.iooth.  i  his  sand  exteiids  from  abreast  of  the  lights  to  Beach  point,  most  of 
which  'is  dry  at  low  ebjiw.  From  tl  e  easternmost  part  of  this  sand  to  Dick's 
■Hat  It  rounds  with  a  corisiderable  sweep  ;  you  have'but  5  fathoms  water  from 
the  eastehiiYioiit  part  of  Brown's  island  to  the  Gurnet  head,  and  not  more  than 
!r  or  8  until  you  are  abreast  ot  Dick' a  flat,  where  you  will  have  13  or  14  fath- 
oms in  a  deep  hole',  and  thfen  shoklen  to  5  fathoms  abreast  of  Beach  point. 

If  you  should  fall  into  the  south  want  of  Brown's  islands  or  shoal,  between 
them  arid  the  Monument  latid,  where  vnu  have  CO  fathoms  in  some  places,  you 
must  not  attempt  to  run  for  the  lights,  until  you  have  them  shut  in  one  viit]\ 
the  other,  when  they  will  bear  N.N.W.  J  W. ;  jf  yoi)  do,  you  may  depend  on 
being  tm  Brown's  islands  or  shoal,  as  there  is  no  passage  for  even  a  boat  atlovr 
water.  ..... 

In  coming  in  from  the  northward  in  the  night,  yoti  must  not  bring  the  lights 
to  bear  moie  southerly  than  S.  by  W.  to  avoid  High  Pine  ledge,  and  keep  that 
course  until  you  have  them  to  bear  N.W.  or  N.W,  by  W.  when  you  will  be 
iriear  of  the  rock,  and  may  steer  up  W.  by  S.  until  you  have  iheliglitsiobeur

At  the  Gurnet  and  Plymouth  the  tidesarc  much  the  game  as  at  Boston  ;  that

Directions  for  *Cape  Cod  Harbour. 

IN  passing  Race  jmitif  to  the  southward,  you  must  give  it  a  birth  of  one 
mile,  us  there  is  ii  loin;  Hat  of  saiul  that  lies  to  the  southward  of  said  point. 
You  must  not  haul  to  tlie  eastward  till  you  come  near  Herring  cove. 

W'ssels  iiiwani  bound,  who  iall  in  with  the  back  ot  Cnpe  Cod,  may  bring  the 
flight  to  bear  S.  \V.  2  leagues  disiant,and  then  Mcer  W.N.W.  for  Boston  light- 
house. 

II  you  wish  to  go  into  Cape  Cod  Harbour,  you  may  keep  the  shore  aboard  a- 
bout  a  mile  distant,  where  you  will  have  10  fathoms  water.  There  is  a  bar 
lies  oft'  tin;  back  of  the  cape,  about  half  a  mile  from  the  shore,  called  Picked- 
kill  bar. 

When  up  wjth  Race  point,  you  will  (n\A  it  very  bold  about  3  leagues  to  tho 
westward  of  the  light-house,  and  it  may  be  known  by  a  numberof  fish  houses 
(.n  it.  I'nmt  1  to  3  miles  to  the  southwarc'  oiRaee  point  is  what  is  called 
Herring  cove,  where  you  may  have  good  anchorage  half  a  mile  from  the  shore, 
the  wind  from  E.  to  N.N.E.  in  4  or  even  in  3  fathoms  water. 

If  bound  into  Cape  Cod  harbour,  yotir  course  from  Race  point  to  Woodend, 
is  S.S.E.  0"  miles  distance.  Bring  the  light  to  bear  E.  by  N.  and  run  for  it  a- 
bout  2  miles  ;  you  will  then  be  c'earof  V/oodend — then  you  mtist  steer  N.E. 
until  the  light  bears  E.  by  S.  then  run  N.W.  for  thcharbcur,  until  you  have 
from  4  to  3^  fathoms  water,  where  you  will  have  good  anchoring;  the  light 
v»ill  then  Ix'ar  E.  by  S,  ^  S.  5  or  6  miles  distance. 

In  running  from  Race  point  to  Jf^ood  end,  after  you  pass  the  Black  land  or 
Hiimmuck.s,  you  will  come  up  with  a  low  sandy  beach  which  forms  the  har- 
bour, extending  between  2  and  3  miles  to  Wood  end,  which  is  diflicult  to  bo 
distinguished  in  tlie  night :  it  is  very  bold,  and  you  will  have  25  fathoms  wa- 
ter within  half  a  mile  of  the  shore. 

In  beating  into  Cape  Cod  harbqur  you  must  keep  the  eastern  shore  aboard 
until  you  get  into  5  (athoms  water.  Stand  no  further  to  the  westward  than 
to  bring  the  light  to  bear  E.  by  S.  as  there  is  a  long  spitof  sand  runs  offfroni 
the  western  shore,  which  being  very  bold,  you  >•'  have  1 1  fathoms  water 
witliin  a  stone's  throw  of  the  shore. 

If  it  blows  so  hard  that  you  cannot  beat  into  the  harbour,  you  will  hive 
good  anchoring  without,  from  10  to  15  fatbo  ns  water.  Or  if  itblows  hard  at 
N.  E.  bring  Racepoint  lo  bear  N.W.  by  N.  tnd  steer  S.  E.  by  5.  7  leagues, 
which  course  will  carry  you  into  Wellf''<'r,  formerly  cal:  il  IVillmgule.  in 
steering  this  course  you  will  make //arsii'.  .i^hta-head.  When  .ou  open  tho 
bay,  you  will  bring  an  i.sland  on  your  larboard  hand,  when  you  may  haul  to 
the  eastward,  and  anchor  safe  from  all  winds,

tnown  to  SMiurn,  and  is  abdul  two  miles  and  a  half  from  Race  Point.  Seamen  cast  awAy  ou

At  tlie  head  of  Stout's  Creek  tW  Trustees  have  biiitt  a  second  hut.  Stom's  Cr?(;k  is  a  sinalj 
bfa>»cli  of  Kait  Uarbuur  in  Truro.  Alauy  years  ago  there  was  a  body  of  Salt  marsh  on  it;  and 
it  tlieii  deserved  the  name  of  a  creek.  Uut  the  marsh  was  long  since  destn>yed ;  and  the  creeb 
naw  'icarcely  exists,  appearing  o'ly  like  a  small  depression  in  llic  sand,  andboing  entirely  dry 
;'.t  hrft'lide.  The  creek  runs  froft,  north-Wcst  to  south-east,  and  is  nearly  pariiliel  with  the  shore 
on  the  ofcsn,  ih)m  which  it  is  nt  no  great  distance.  Not  far  from  it  the  hills  of  Provincetowu 
terminate ;  and  should  not  (be  hut  be  found,  by  walking  round  the  head  of  the  creek,  witli  (lis 
f'acc  to  the  west,  the  hills  on  the  rbht  hand,  and  keeping  close  to  (he  shore  on  the  harbour,  iu 
iess  than  an  hour  the  shipHrerkenseflitTien  would  coiJ)e  to  Provincetowu. 

The  Humane  Society,  several  years  ago,  ereyed  a  hut  at  tlie  head  of  Stout's  creek.  But  it 
whs  built  in  an  improper  m)u>iier,  having  a  chimney  in  it;  and  was  placed  on  a  spot  where  iin 
iieath  grass  gt«w.  The  strong  winds  blew  the  sand  I'rom  its  foundation,  and  the  wciaht  oftlie 
chimney  brought  it  to  the  ground  so  tluit  in  January,  IBO*,  it  was  entirely  dcmohiliid.  TliU

easy  passage  into  a  valley,  in  which  are  situaled  twa  ur  three  d  wcllii>g-houjCi.  I'lie  first  un  tlia  - 
left  hand,  or  south,  is  a  tew  rods  only  from  the  ocean. 

The  shore,  which  extends  from  this  valley  to  Ilacc  Point,  is  un>|ucstiunsbly  th?  part  of  the 
coast  the  must  expnsed  to  shipwrecks.  A  N.E.  ttorin,  the  most  viok'nt,  and  fatal  to  searu:  u,  as 
it  is  frequently  accom|ia\iied  with  snow,  blows  directly  on  the  land ;  a  strong  current  srti  iiioii;; 
the  shore ;  add  to  which,  that  ships,  durini^  the  operation  ot  such  a  sliu-.u,  endeavour  tn  v,-(iik 
to  the  northward,  that  they  miy  got  into  tlio  bay.  riiiuiild  liiey  b?  unable  to  wfather  IWe- 
Foiirt,  the  wind  drives  them  on  the  shore,  and  a  ship.viei-V  is  inevitable.  AcGordinjjK,  th?  ttniinl 
is  every  where  covered  with  the  frai»Miuiits  of  vess'ls.  H.its,  therefore,  pliired  within  a  mile  cf 
each  other,  have  been  thought  necesHary  by  many  judx'iowi  pcrsniM.  To  this  opinion  the  'i'nis- 
tees  are  disposed  to  pay  due  respeet ;  and  herealter,  ii  the  funds  of  the  Society  increase,  new 
huts  will  be  built  here  for  the  rcliel  of  (he  uulortunatc 

From  the  valley  above  mentioned  the  land  rises,  and  less  than  a  mile  from  it  the  hiuh  h:nd 
eommences.  O:.  (he  first  elevated  spot,  (the  Clay  Pounds)  stands  the  Lialil-liouse.  'I'lio  sl.ur*

especially  in  a  storm.  In  violent  tempests,  during  very  hi^h  tidi'a,  the  5?a  breaks  ntainsi  ths 
foot  of  ihcm,  rendering  it  then  unsafe  to  walk  on  the  strand,  which  lies  between  thcui  and  the' 
orenn.  Should  the  seaman  succeed  in  his  attempt  to  ascend  Ihem,  he  iniisi  forbear  to  pcnririite 
iiilo  iha  country,  as  houses  are  generally  so  remufc,  that  they  would  escape  his  rescar;.!;  during 
the  night;  he  must  p««(s  on  to  the'  vallies,  by  which  the  banks  are  inlersecled.  These  valiies, 
wiiiclithe  inhabitants  call  Hollows,  run  at  right  angles  wiUi  the  shore;  and  in  the  middle,  or 
lowest  iKHt  of  them,  a  road  leads  from  the  dwelliiij-hou^es  to  the  sea. 

The  first  of  these  vallies  is  Dyer's  Iloiluw,  Ii  mile  south  ot  the  light-house.  It  is  a  wide  op» 
Cling,  being  200  rods  broad,  from  summit  to  suuunit.  In  it  stands  a  divelliiig-house,  a  quarter 
of  a  mile  from  the  beach. 

A  mile  and  a  hall  south  of  Dyer's  Hollow,  is  a  second  valley,  called  ffarding's  Hollow.  At 
the  entrance  of  this  valley,  the  sand  has  gathered ;  si>  that  at  present  u  little  climbing  i<>  nece>i- 
tary.  Passing  over  several  fences,  and  taking  heed  not  to  enter  the  wood  on  the  right  tianu. . . 
the  distance  of  three  quarters  of  a  mile,  a  housf  is  to  be  found.  This  house  stands  on  'iiV 
stxith  side  of  die  mad;  and  not  far  from  it,  on  the  south,  is  Pe.met  river,  which  runs  fruiii  ea.ii- 
tu  west  tliro«tgh  a  body  of  salt  marsh. 

The  third' valley,  half  a  mile  south  ef  Harding's  Hollow,  is  head  of  Pamet  Iliillow.  Ii 
m)iy  with  ease  l>e  distinguished  from  the  other  hollows  mentioned,  as  it  is  a  wills  o|<;.Tiiiig,  niit!' 
leads  immediately  over  a  beach  to  the  salt  marsh  at  the  head  of  Pamct  river,  l.i  ihu  niid^t  of 
t)ie  hollow  the  sand  has  been  raised  by  a  brush  fence,  carried  across  it  from  north  to  sniitl.. 
This  miisl  be  passed,  and  the  shipwrecked  mariner  will  soon  come  to  a  tnee  which  s(  |i:ir:itcs' 
what  is  called  the  road  from  the  marsh.  If  he  turns  lo  the  left  hand,  or  soulli.at  thcdisiiiuce  if 
a  quarter  of  a  mile,  he  will  discover  a  house.  If  he  turns  to  (he  riuht  hand,  iil  the  ui«(ancc  of 
fMlf  a  mile,  he  will' fihd  the  same  house,  which  is  lueiiiinued  in  the  l''Mei;»iii<.'  p:ir'sFri>i>ii.

Ci'ediiig  straight  forward,  and  passing  over  rising  giuund,  another  house  may  be  discovered,  but

Those  three  liollows,  lying  near  together,  sci  .e  to  designate  oach  other.  Eitiier  of  them  may 
lie  U'icd  ;  but  Ileail  of  Pamet  Hollow  is  the  safest.

Not  Ur  from  this  shore,  south,  the  Trustees  have  erected  a  third  hut/  on  Nausct  beach.  Nao<

proi^ress  at  the  rate  ol  (lOor  70  miles  a  day.  The  Nuntncket  whalemen,  by 
their  constant  practice  of  whailinp;  en  the  edge  of  the  Ciulph-slrcam  all  the

Mi  AY  HEAD  is  the  westernn^  of  Murtlia^  J'ii:n;ard.     The  land 

of  this  head  is  high  and  of  divers  , ,s,  iuitiiely,  lid.  yellow,   and  wiiite  in 

streaks.  In  steering  from  •/>/  v  island  for  (•..■;  head,  you  must  be  careful  to 
avoid  the  Soxcand  pif;s ;  they  make  a  ledjje  of  rocks,  some  of  which  are  a- 
bove  and  others  under  water.  These  rocks  lie  2A  miles S.W.  by  W.  from  the 
westernmost  (d'  Elizabeth  i.\lei>,  and  N.W.  by  \V.  from  Gay  head,  3^  leajjues 
distant.  Tiie  first  of  the  tiood  fide  sets  stron5  to  the  northward  over  the  rocks 
into  Buizani'sbnii,  which  is  very  foul.  Within  Ony  head  there  is  a  fair  sandy 
bay,  in  winch  is  very  Rood  anchorin;:;  with  south  ami  south-easterly  winds. 
Your  course  along  Elizabeth  isles  is  r..N.l'.  in  I '>,  14,  12,  8,  15,  16,  and  17 
fathoms  water  ;  i;ivc  the  isies  a  birth  «)f  about  three  (piarters  of  a  mile. 

Wiieii  coming  from  sea,  you  may  run  for  (>ay  head  li^ht,  when  it  liears  from 
N.N.E.  to  IvS. K.  niviiii;  it  a  birth  of  >2  miles  to  clear  the  Devil's  hrid<j;c, 
which  bears  from  the  liulit  N.W.  by  N.  l.[  inile  distant.  As  measuring  the 
distance  in  the  iii^ht  would  be  uncertain,  you  must  keep  your  lend  goinj:, 
and  if  you  sliould  have  7  or  8  fatlioms  when  the  light  bears  S.K.  by  F^,  or  S. 
v..  haul  up  north  till  ycm  have  10  or  12  fathoms  ;  then  with  flood,  steer  N.K. 
a.id  with  eb'',  N.  K.  by  E.  3  len^ues  ;  then  F,.N.E.  will  be  the  course  of  the 
sound,  wliicli  will  carry  you  to  tiie  northward  of  tlie  Middle  p;iound,  when 
you  will  see  the  we«t  chop  of  Holmes' -hole  harbour,  (w  hich  appears  like  sand 
banks  or  cliil'-,)  with  trees  back  of  it,  which  you  may  run  in  tor,  but  keep

Description  of  George's  Bank  and  Nantucket  Shoals. 

THE  shoals  of  George's  hanlc  lie  in  laf.  41'  35'  N.  sjnd  are  very  diinger- 
ous ;  in  some  places  having  only  2  or  .3  feet  water  on  them,  surrounded  2  or' 
3  leagues  by  rips  and  breakers,  with  a  very  dangerous,  irregular,  and  ra))id 
tide,  which  sets  southward  most  part  of  the  time. 

On  that  part  of  Ceorge's  bank  where  the  shoals  lie,  you  will  have  a  strong 
tide,  but  not  regular.  The  most  powerful  and  rapid  pans  of  it  run  southward  ; 
first  to  the  S.S.E.  and  continuing  its  force  until  it  comes  up  S.W.  when  it 
slacks  and  alters  its  course,  making  some  short  returns  to  the  N.N.E. — N.E. 
and  E.  sometimes  for  the  s|iacc  of  12  and  15  hours. 

In  coming  from  the  southward  for  George's  bank,  you  will  get  soundings  in 
lat.  40"»  17',  if  on  the  S.S.W.  part  of  the  bank.  Should  you  get  soundings  iii 
the  latitude  of  40*  30',  you  may  be  certain  you  are  to  the  eastward  of  the 
slioal,  when  jou  must  direct  your  course  accordingly  to  clear  it,  when  your 
first  soundings  will  be  in  from  75  to  60  fathoms.  When  steering  to  the  north- 
ward, you  will  shoalen  your  water  gradually  to  24  fathoms,  when  you  will  b« 
in  lat.41'' 20',  which  depth  ofwateryou  will  have  lOor  12  leagues  distant, 
either  east  or  west.  From  40  to  21  fathoms  soundings  you  will  have  fine  whit* 
sand,  mi.xed  with  black  specks ;  but  the  nearer  the  shoal  the  coarser  the  sand. 
When  you  get  into  15  fathoms  you  will  have  very  irregular  soundings,  some- 
times deepening  and  at  other  siioaling  2  or  3  fathoms.  If  you  are  coming 
into  the  east  channel,  and  get  soundings  in  lat.  42*  12',  you  will  then  be  on 
the  N.E.  part  of  the  bank,  as  there  are  no  soundings  on  George's  bank  to  tlio 
northward  of  the  above  latitude.  When  the  shoal  of  George's  bears  S.\V.  by 
W.  8  leagues  distant,  you  will  have  from  20  to  22  fHthoms,  round  stones  as 
big  as  eggs,  and  large  muscles ;  4  leagues  to  the  eastward  of  this  you  wiii  Uvac. 
30  fathoms,  white  mo.ss  ;  and  3  leagues  further  east  you  will  have  black  moss; 
and  from  that  to  thu  N.E.  part  of  .ihu  bank,  rocky  bottom,  and  plenty  of 
halibut.  Y

Jlmci-ican  Coast  P'lUt. 


Tf  you  strike  sounilines  in  latitude  4Co  30',  it  must  be  on  the  S.W.  part  of 
Sron/i's  bank,  where  you  will  have  from  30  to  45  fallioms,  siindy  bottom. 

On  your  first  entnincc on  Georgi's  Imnli  from  Block  island  c/wtiiiel,  ynu  will 
have  oiizv  bottom,  till  you  are  a.s  far  to  the  eastward  as  tiie  bank  extends. 

Soundings  from  tiie  westward  of  Gforgt"'*  ^fl«A- continues  its  course  W.  by  S. 
utitil  yon  are  nearly  abreast  of  Lw/g  /*/«««/,  then  southwartl  toCtijic  llatleiax. 
liitrht  or  ten  leagues  S.l".  from  the  south  part  of  George's  bunk  lies  tiin 
Cii/p/i  Htrcmn,  where  there  is  a  strong  K.N.E.  current,  and  if  you  arc  bound 
to  the  westward,  you  had  better  go  very  near  the  bank,  and  oflei:  on  soinidings, 
till  you  are  abreast  of  the  south  shoal  of  Nantucket,  where  you  have  30  leagues 
from  bank  to  current,  and  by  doing  which  you  will  probably  shorten  your 
passaa;e. 

'I'lie  soutii  shoal  of  Nantucket  is  almost  dry ;  the  tide  rinis  swift,  but  rejiu- 
Inr,  to  the  N.E.  and  S.W.  Nearly  to  the  soutliward  of  this  shoal,  in  '^5  or  30 
fathoms,  you  will  have  tine  black  ancf  while  sand  :  to  the  eastward,  in  the  same 
Kouiuiings,  you  will  have  course  saml.  When  y<ui  are  ne;;  i  the  shoal,  you  will 
ba\  (!  very  light  coloured  water,  t(jgeiher  with  w  liite  and  l>hi(  k  sand  and  jiieces 
of  green  shells.  Nine  or  ten  leagues  to  the  westward  of  the  above  shoal,  in 
i!0  or  40  fathoms,  you  will  have  black  inudof  a  shining  smooth  nature,  when 
you  will  he  in  Tucherniirk  channel. 

To  the  westward  of  the  south  shoal  of  Nantucket,  you  l.avc  no  shoals,  ripi*, 
nor  tide  to  hurt  you,  until  youcemic  near  the  land  ;  but  clear  sea,  go(td  navi- 
gation, and  regular  soundings.  To  the  eastward  and  northward  of  the  soutli 
shoal  you  will  have  a  rapid  tide. 

Around  the  coast  of  Nanlinhrf  and  the  slioals  you  will  have  sandy  bottom, 
and  in  moderate  weather  had  better  anchor  than  be  driven  about  by  the  tide, 
which  is  very  rapid.  The  courses  of  the  tides  at  and  over  Nantucket  shoals 
is  nearly  N.E.  and  S.W.  and  regular.  The  N.K.  tide  makes  flood.  S.S.F.. 
moon  makes  high  water.     South  moon  makes  lull  sea  at  Nantucket  harbour. 

S  8.E.  and  W  .N.W.  moon  makes  high  water  on  the  shoals  ;  the  tideof  (lood 
sets  N.E.  by  E  and  ebb  S.W.  by  W.  from  2  to  3  knotsuu  hour.  It  ebbsaud 
fl(.«s  ab(Hit  o  orb'  feet. 

When  you  come  in  from  sea  and  fall  into  Block  island  channel,  you  w  ill  have 
from  54  to  70  f.ilhoms,  soft  muildy  bottom.  Vou  will  have  soundings  in  the 
lat.  of  40<>.  In  standing  to  the  northward,  yc.u  will  shoal  your  water  to  30 
fatlioms",  and  when  in  sight  of  Block  inland  yc.u  will  have  from  25  to  '20  fath- 
oms, sandy  bottcjin.  Wlu'U  Block  inland  bears  N.  distant  4  or  5  leagues,  vou 
cannot  see  any  land  to  the  northward  or  eastward  ;  but  as  yon  approach'thu 
rsland,you  will  see  Montuck  point  to  the  westward,  making  a  long  low  point 
to  the  eastward.  In  sailing  W.S.W.  you  will  make  no  remarkable  land  on 
Long  island,  from  the  eastward  of  said  island  to  the  westward,  its  broken 
Jand  appearing  at  a  distance  like  islands.  ^  ou  will  have  20  or  2'3  fathoms 
water  out  sight  of  th?  land,  sandy  bottom  in  some  and  clay  in  other  places. 
When  you  come  in  sight  of  Sandij  hook  light-house,  you  will  sec  tiie  IJiglilanils 
of  NevcrsinHy  with  lie  W.S.W.  from  Sandi/  hojk,  and  is  the  most  remarkable 
kind  on  that  shore. 

At  the  south  entrance  of  the  south  channel  you  will  have  oo/y  bottom,  in 
40  or  50  fathoms  water ;  south  of  Noman's  lind  inland,  in  20  or  25  fathoms, 
you  will  have  course  sand,  like  gravel  stones ;  and  S.S.W.  from  it,  in  28  or  30 
fathoms,  course  red  sand  ;  S.S.L.  from  Block  inland,  which  is  in  Block  inland 
channel,  in 40  or  50  fathoms,  you  will  have  oozy  bottom,  but  as  you  shoal 
your  water  to  25  or  20  fathoms,  you  will  have  course  sandy  bottom.

your  course  to  Point  Jmlitli  is  N.K.  by  E.  about  6"  leagues.  This  point  ap- 
pears like  a  nag's  head,  and  is  pretty  bold  ;  between  HIiKh  inland  and  th« 
point,  there  are  from  30  to  (i  tut  horns  water.  From  Point  Judith  (when  not 
more  than  a  (punter  of  a  mile  fr<Hii  the  point)  to  PJiudc- hluml  haihour,  your

part  »i  Fis/ier's  isintid,kic.  w-Londun  Wght  bearing  from  N.N. W.  to  N. 
l^.K.  if  you  are  beating  to  .  .uward,  but  it  the  wind  is  fair,  bring  the  light 
to  bear  N.  when  at  the  {li-.tance  of  2  leagues,  and  run  directly  for  it ;  leave 
it  on  your  larboard  hand  in  running  in ;  when  in,  you  may  have  good  an- 
choring in  4  or  j  laiiioms  water,  clayey  bottom.  In  coming  out  of  New- 
London,  when  you  havo  loft  the  harbour,  bring  the  light  to  bear  N.N.E.  and 
tteer  directly  S.S.W.  till  you  come  into  15  fathoms  water,  in  order  to  clear 
a  reef  that  lies  on  your  starboard  hand,  when  the  N.  part  of  I'isker's  island 
will  bfur  K.  distant  '2  leagues. 

If  bound  up  soi  id,  steer  W.  by  S.  33  leagues,  which  will  carry  you  up 
with  I'.utuns  n<rk,  (on  whieii  a  flig^'t  house  is  erected.)  On  this  course  you 
will  leave  Faulldand  islai'ds  nn  your  starboard  hand  ;  you  may  get  as  near 
Long  island  ■ihoTi'  as  2  or  J  miles,  without  any  danger;  but  if  you  happen  to 
get  on  the  N.  shore,  take  pnrticular  care  to  keep  at  the  distance  of  3  leagues, 
in  order  to  avoid  tlie  nx  fs  and  shoals  that  lie  along  the  shoic. 

About  7  leagues  Iv  N.K.  of  Eaton  n  neck  light-house  lies  a  "shoal,  or  mid- 
dle ground,  called  Stralford  s/iiia/,  on  which  there  is  but  2  feet  of  water,  at 
low  water.  You  may  steer  on  either  side  of  the  shoal  you  please;  on  the  N. 
are  from  3  to?  fathoms ;  on  the  S.  side  fron»  12  to  17  fathoms  water. 

From  Eaton's  neck  to  Loyd's  neck  the  course  is  W.  ^  N.5  miles.  Between 
Eaton's  neck  and  l.o;id's  neck  lies  a  deep  bay,  called  Huntington's  iaj/,whcre 
a  ship  of  any  size  may  anchor  with  salcty,  keeping  the  eastern  shoreaboard. 
From  Loyd's  neck  to  Matinecock  point  the  course  is  VV.  by  S.  distant  10 
miles,  good  soundings,  borrowing  on  liong  island  to  7  fathoms.  The  course 
from  Matinecock  point  to  Sand's  point  \s  W.S.W.  distant  2  leagues;  between 
tliese  two  points  is  a  bay,  called  flamslead's  Unj,  in  which  is  excellent  anchor- 
ing, keeping  the  eastern  shore  aboard.  To  the  northward  of  Sand's  point,  dis- 
tant one  (juarter  of  a  league,  lie  the  Execution  rocks  which  have  a  spear  on 
them,  with  a  board  pointing  to  the  S.W.  which  you  must  take  care  to  avoid, 
leaving  them  on  your  starboard  hand.  I"  rum  Sand's  point  the  course  is  S.W. 
4  miles  to  Hart  island,  to  the  west  of  which,  between  that  and  C7/y 
island,  there  is  gocKl  anchorage  for  vessels  of  any  si:;c.  If  a  vessel,  in  making 
this  course  good,  is  obliged  to  turn  to  windward,  they  must  be  very  careful 
of  a  rock  called  iho  Success,  which  bears  W.N.W.  from  the  east  bluft'of  Coa) 
/;«//,  half  a  mile  distant.  The  course  from  thence  to  Frog's  point  is  S.S.W.  dis- 
tant 2  leagues,  taking  care  to  avoid  the  Stepping  stones,  one  of  w  hich  has  a 
spear  on  it,  which  lie  on  your  larboard  hand,  and  arc  steep  too.  The  sound- 
ings on  your  starboard  hand  are  regular  to  3  fathoms.  From  Frog's  point  to 
Hunt's  harbour  the  course  is  W.  keeping  as  near  the  middle  of  the  sound  as 
you  can  conveniently.  [See  the  Chart,  and  for  one  of  Long  island  sound 
on  a  large  scale,  eieri/  seamen  is  recommended  to  purchase  that  published  by  capt, 
t'AtiiouN,  of  Newport,  and  others, as  an  invaluable  work.

LONG  ISLAND,  (ram  Monfauge  puint  to  Red  hook,  extends  W.  by  1 
«bo\it  108  miles,  and  is  at  the  broudest  part  about  25  miles  across.  The 
land  is  generally  pretty  low  and  level,  excepting  a  lew  hills,  which  lie  about 
40  miles  to  the  westward  of  Montaiigr  point.  Along  the  8.  side  of  the  islancl  a 
flat  extends  about  a  mile  from  the  shore  ;  in  some  places  it  runs  out  a  mile 
and  a  half.  Your  course  along  this  flat  from  Montaugc  point  toSandi/  hook  is 
S.W.  by  W.  3  W.  14  leagues;  and  then  W.  by  S.  2'2  leagues.  The  E.  end 
of  the  flat  is  sand,  the  middle  and  west  parts  are  sand  and  stones.  About  4 
leagues  distant  from  the  island  there  are  from  15  to  18  fathoms  water,  and 
from  that  distance  to  CO  leagues,  the  water  deepens  to  80  fathoms  ;  in  the 
latter  depth  you  will  have  oozy  ground,  and  sand  with  blue  specks  on  it. 
About*  leagues  off  the  E.  end  of  the  island,  you  will  have  course  sand  and 
shells  •  and'^at  the  same  distance  from  the  middle  and  west  end,  there  is  a 
»mall  white  sand.  From  the  S.W.  end  a  shoal  extends  about  6  miles  to- 
wards Sa/irfy  hook.

Directions  from  Gardner's  Island  to  Shelter  Island. 

If  j'ou  fall  in  with  Gardner's  island,  you  must  sail  on  tlio  N.  side  of  it 
till  you  come  up  with  a  low  sandy  point  at  the  W.  end,  wiiitli  point  puts  (iff 
2  miles  from  the  hi<;h  land.  You  may  bring  the  island  to  L.ar  eas!,  and  an-

Directions  from  Gardner's  Island  to  New-London. 

YOUR  course  from  Gardner's  island  to  New-London  is  N.  by  K.  5  or  (j 
Ipagucs  In  steering  this  course,  you  will  leave  riun.h  idand  and  Gull  islands 
on  your  larboard,  and  Fisher's  island  on  your  starboard  hand.  In  ihis  jmss 
vou  will  "o  through  the  Horse  race,  where  you  will  havea  strong  tide.  The 
flood  sets^V.N.W.  and  the  ebb  E.S.E.  This  place  breaks  when  there  is  any 
wind,  especially  when  it  blows  against  the  tide.  Your  soundings  will  some- 
times be  5  fathoms,  at  others  1 5  and  CO.  In  passing  the  west  end  ol  lishcr  s 
isUind,  you  must  give  it  a  birth  of  3i  miles,  as  there  are  several  rocks  to  the 
westward  of  it;  then  your  course  to  the  tliR^t-house  is  N.N.W.  distant  2 
leagues;  but  in  going  in  here  you  must  not  make  long  hitches ;  you  will  leave 
a  sunken  led<'e  on  your  larboard,  and  one  on  your  starboard  hand.  When 
within  one  mile  of  the  light-house,  you  may  stand  on  to  the  eastward  till  tiie

iiummock,  which  is  called  the  ii'ciicrnmost  hummock  ;  by  keeping;  both  easterly 
and  westerly  hummocks  open  to  your  view,    you  avoid    the  middle  and  the

If  you  come  in  near  Capr  Hattcras,  be  very  careful  of  its  shoals,  and 
inukeyour  way  to  the  N.N.E.  which  will  carry  you  on  the  soundiiisi  ot  the 
Jersey  shore.  When  you  <:et  CO  fathoms  water  in  the  lat.  of  40«  00'  north, 
then  haul  in  to  make  the  land,  by  winch  you  will  avoid  the  dithcultios  of  the 
coast  and  the  shoab  nearer  in  sliorc  ;  but  if  you  cannot  follow  this  direction 
see  the  fcllowinc/. 

When  you  are  up  with  Chingotrack  shoals,  in  15  fathoms  water,  it  is  near 
enough  to  approach  them  ;  from  this  station,  steer  N.  bv  V.  which  will 
brin;;  you  up  nearly  with  Criaf  Eiis;  Ilnrluur  on  the  Jascii  shore,  but  yr,u

wliich  time  you  will  bi- 2  or  'Z.^  luilc^  troni  the  Hook.  On  tins  tjuiik  you 
must  eili^e  off  and  on,  in  ;>  or  3.J  liillionis,  lor  the  Imnlv  lies  niumling  its  thft 
Hook  (li)t'S,  and  stojw  u  little  short  ot'its  norlii  point  ;  but  lonj;  beiore  yvju 
reach  that,  you  will  bring  the  light- h()us.e  to  bear  \V.  !,  S.  or  W.  by  H.  when 
you  must  inmiodiiilely  sti^r  in  west ;  this  will  briuf^  the  light-house  n.  little 
on  tbi5  larboard  bow,  uiid  if  you  see  the  heaken  li^ht  near  the  extreme  point 
of  the  Ilouk,  you  must  take  it  on  the  same  bow  also,  but  pass  it  about  two  ca- 
bles kiugth,  when  you  must  edge  away  to  theW.S.W.  about  two  miles,  and 
anchor  with  the  light  bcarinj;east  of  you. 

If  you  shouul  fall  in  with  the  cast  end  o(  L(iiig  Island,  where  tliere  is  now 
a  li};ht-house,  whicii  does  not  differ  much  in  lalilude  with  Sandi/  houk  ii<>ht, 
but  differs  very  conbiderablo  in  soundinps,  as  you  will  see  by  your  drult  as  to 
tlepth  of  water,  (!vc.  in  which  you  cannot  be  deceived.  In  steering  to  the 
westward  for  the  light-house,  or  the  Higfi/ands  of  f^lever/fitik,  you  must  come 
no  nearer  ta  Long  hiand  than  1,1  fathoms  water;  in  this  rout,  which  is  about 
125  miles  from  the  light-house,  which  is  on  the  east  end  oi'  J-oiig  inland,  and 
the  courses  between  W.  byS.  and  VV.S.VV.  it  is  necessary  to  use  the  lead  af- 
ter you  run  8C  rciles,  to  know  how  youapproach  tlie  Jersey  shore — 10  (ath- 
oms  water  is  near  enough  at  night. 

a  you  should  ptiss  Nantiicktt  shouh  in  38°  north  latitude,  or  38'  30'  or 
Sg^i  00'  (»r  39^  30'  you  will,  if  poshible,  observe  w^ien  you  leave  the  Gulpli 
Sticam,  from  which  advancing  about  10  leagues,  you  may  begin  to  expect 
soundings,  and  a  S.  W.  current  as  soon  as  you  get  soundings;  then  the  ob- 
serviition  by  lead  and  line  is  to  aid  the  navigator. 

If  you  are  on  soundings,  and  running  in  for  the  land  to  the  northward  of 
both  the  £(ffg /i«rAo«r4,  the  northern  one  is  often  called  the  liurniag  hole, 
which  lies  in  hit.  about  3S<*  40'  north  ;  being  near  the  land,  awd  steering  the 
above  mentioned  course,  and  you  find  you  have  suddenly  deepened  your  wa- 
ter from  less  to  13  fathoms,  heave  about  immediately,  lor  many  vessels  hava 
4)een  deceived  by  a  hole  in  the^o'oundings,  of  the  dimention»i>f  about  4  a- 
cres  of  ground,  and  have  been  totally  lost. 

If  you  arc  beating  to  windward,  i  ff  the  Hook,  \vaitin;:i"or  a  pilot,  or  for  a 
wind,  nigiuor  day,  in  standing  to  tUe northward,  when  you  sup))0>e  iheliglil- 
Ji'iuhe  of  the  Hook  beurs  west,  it  is  near  enough.  When  you  approach  Long 
hlaiiu,  the  soundings  iU'c  tine  wliitc  sand  ;  but  on  t!i«  Jersey  shore  the  sound- 
ings are  coarser  and  durker  ;  tliere  is  what  is  called  a  hook  channei  iu  this 
channel;  the  sountlings  are  mu;l  and  saii;!.

r/trr,  muddy  bottom.  You  may  go  to  sea  from  this  nver  with  the  wind 
from  S.W.  to  N.W. 


Dirextions  for  Norfolk  and  Hampton  Road. 

t 

A  SHIP  from  sea  falling  into  the  northward  ought  not  to  go  rrnror. 
<han  7  fathoms  on  the  shore  untd  she  is  well  up  with  the  middle  of  Unntlt'a. 
island,  when  she  may  stand  into  5  fathoms  without  danger. 

A  ship,  approacliing  from  the  southward,  is  to  keep  in  7  fathoms  watei, 
and  no  nearer,  her  course  varying  between  N.J  E.  and  J  W.  which  will 
bring  her  up  with  the  cape,  when  falling  into  8  or  .9  fathoms  water,  sticky 
ground,  will  shew  her  to  be  in  the  channel  way. 

lfthe*light  on  CupcUtnry  is  to  be  seen,  keep  no  further  to  the  northward 
than  fiir  the  light  to  bear  W.S.W.  by  the  compass,  which  course,  after  cros- 
sing the  Middle  in  4  or  \\  fathoms,  will  lead  you  to  the  channel-way,  in  7,  8, 
and  })  or  10  fathoms,  sticky  bottom  ;  from  thence  gi  west  course  will  lead  you 
to  the  tail  of  the  Horse  shoe,  in  b  fathoms,  hard  sand,  the  light  bearing  S.  K. 
by  F..  If  bound  to  Uiimplon  road,  inonler  to  gain  with  certainty  the  south- 
ern s'.ore,  on  which  it  is  right  to  take  soundings,  steer  W.  or  \V.  by  S.  until 
the  light  hears  E.S.E.  then,  being  in  5  fathoms,  or  a  quarter  less  5,  a  VV.N.W. 
course  leads  you  up  clear  of  irHlotighbfs  pouit — this  being  passed,  aiul  the 
water  deepened  into  y  or  10  fathoms,  it  is  necessary  to  haul  up  W.S.W.  ob- 
;■!•;  vins  to  come  no  nearer  than  9  fathoms  to  the  south  shore,  lest  the  bar  ot^" 
So-a-U's  point  hooks  you  in.  Should  you,  after  passing  (r///oi/g/(/'v'A'  point,  fall 
in  14  or  Ij  fathoms,  ^Old  Point  Comfort  light-house  bearing  W.N. W.  steer 
up  S.W.  by  W.  but  go  no  nearer  to  Hampton  bar  on  the  north  side  than  10 
lathoms,  it  being  steep  too,  until  you  pass  .SW(7/'i /)o.',(^  when,  OA/ i*o;;;t 
Comfort  bearing  N.E.  you  fall  into  7,  8,  aiul  9  fathoms,  good  anciioring. 

As  the  setting  of  the  tide  varies  much  at  rlitVeient  sta;;es  thereof,  attention 
should  be  paid  as  well  to  the  hearing  of  the  light  as  the  soundnigs,  wlien  run- 
ning up  from  the  cape  to  IVUhmgldiifs  point,  lest  you  cross  the  channel  and 
run  on  a  lump  of  the  Ilorsc  shoe,  called  the  T/iiml-lc,  vhich  has  only  i>  feet 
water  on  it,  and  is  steep  too,  (say  7  fathoms) — this  lurnp  lies  a  little  below 
Wil/ong/ihi/'s  point  on  the  opposite  side — to  avoid  which  is  the  reason  why  it 
is  necessary  to  take  the  soundings,  as  t)ie  south  Mde  of  the  clianiicl  is  in  gen- 
eral sticky  bottom,  and  on  the  Horse  stine\t  is  hard  sand. 

From  Hampton  road  to  Norfolk  the  channd  is  too  intricate  lor  strangers 
to  approach  without  a  pilot,  and  they  must  anchor  in  the  ro;id. 

The  greatest  depth  of  water  that  can  Ix^  carried  to  Norfolk  is  21  feet ;  but 
if  a  ship  should  touch,  the  mud  being  so  very  solt,  she  will  not  be  suhjeci 
to  injury,  and  there  is  no  sea  runs  where  the  shoal  water  lies.

will  cany  you  up  with  Calar  point,  which  is;  pretty  bold,  and  makes  the  south 
point  of  Ftilu.vci  river.  If  the  wind  is  to  the  northward,  and  yoti  can- 
tu)t  got  into  I'atiixct,  (which  is  often  the  case,)  you  may  run  in  under 
Crthr  jn>int,  and  anchor  in  3  or  4  fathoms,  good  bottom,  antl  secure  from  the 
wind  down  the  bay. 

Patuxrf  is  as  remarkaljJc  a  river  as  any  in  the  bay,  havini;  very  high  land  on

pivc  Cedar  point  a  small  I'lrth,  and  stand  to  the  northward  till  you  have  the 
river  open,  when  you  may  run  in  for  Drum  point,  which  is  on  your  starboard 
fiand.  This  is  a  sandy  bold  point,  with  son>e  small  bushes  on  it.  Double  this 
jvoint,  and  coiiie  to  in  "S  and  .3  fathoms  water,  where  you  will  be  secure  from

bif;h  red  clifts  to  3  fathoms,  and  to  ihesotitii  side  to  5  fathoms  water,  and  in 
the  channel  you  will  have  7  fathoms  v.ater.  ^^"  i-n  standin;'  to  the  south  jide 
of  the  river,  you  will  see  some  buildin^^s  on  tlie  north  side  of  the  river,  aUovo

and  as  the  procee<ling  with  it  at  S.E.  would  carry  y<.u  o;i  the  tail  and  north 
edge  of  the  Horse  shoe,  your  keeping  the  cape  on  any  btarin;^  between  S.  by  K. 
and  S.  E.  will  carry  you  through  between  the  two  shoaN.  On  tlie  tail,  and 
along  the  north  side  of  the  Horse  shoe,  the  shoalings  are  gradual.  With  Cuj.e 
Henri)  bearing  S.S.E.  or  te.E.  by  S.  steer  N.N'.W.  or  N.W.  by  N.  until  you 
bring  Cape  Charles  to  bear  E.  by  N.  you  are  then  to  the  northward  of  the 
Horse  shoe,  and  may  steer  N.W.  or  N.W.  by  \V.  according  as  you  have  the 
wind  and  tide.  As  the  ebb  sets  strong  out  of  tlie  Chesapeak  over  the  Hone 
shoe,  you  must  not,  with  a  northerly  wind  and  ebb  tide, approach  any  nearer 
to  the  shoal  than  5  or  6"  fathoms  water.  When  you  have  brought  New  Point 
Comfort  to  bear  N.  and  Back-river  point  to  Lear  b.  by  W.  you  are  then  abreast 
of  the  tail  of  York  spit,  in  3  fathoms  water.  Wlicn  you  are  a  little  above 
Long  isle,  you  must  not  come  any  nearer  to  the  shore  than  5  fathonii,  until 
you  enter  the  river  above  the  marsh,  then  keep  in  9  or  10  fathoms,  and  run 
up  and  anchor  between  York  and  Gloucester,  in  what  depth  you  please. 

With  u  contrary  wind,  stand  towards  x\\ti  Horse  sh^e  in  4^  or  5  fathoms, 
and  from  it  into  6"^  or  7  fathoms,  until  you  are  abreast  of  the  entrance  of  ^Vt'io 
J-'oco.vrt/j,  where  there  is  a  gut  of  7  fathoms,  which  runs  close  to  the  entrance  ; 
you  should  therefore  be  careful  to  avoid  going  too  far  in,  and  thereby  getting 
on  the  tail  that  extends  from  Toes  marsh.  When  you  have  got  thus  lur  up, 
you  should  go  no  nearer  to  the  shore  on  this  side,  than  7  or  6"A  fatlioins,  ail 
the  way  up  to  York,  On  the  other  side,  you  should  not  stand  any  nearer  to 
the  small  iaies  on  l'^o/'A'«/;<V,  than  10  or  11  fathoras:  close  to  the  tail  of  tliisspit 
there  arc;  7  fathoms :  close  to  the  middle  of  il  there  are  10  htthums ;  and  close 
to  it,  abreast  of  the  ibiands,  you  will  have  13  fathoms,  and  before  you  can  get 
«nother  cast  of  the  lead,  you  will  beashore.  When  you  have  eiiiered  the  river, 
yim  must  not  come  any  nearer  to  the  flat  than  S  or  9  fathoms  water.  This

Cape  Uiitlenis  is  the  most  remarkable  and  danf;erous  cape  on  the  coast  of 
^:)rtlt-Arn:rk'.i.  Tiiis  point  extends  larinto  the  ocean,  from  the  coast  of  iS'i);7//- 
Ciirolii.ii,  in  35"  15'  N.  lat.  The  water  is  very  shoal  at  agreat  distance  from 
tise  ciipe,  which  is  remarkiible  for  sudden  s(|ualls  of  wind,  and  for  tlie  most  se- 
vere storms  of  tliunder,  lightninj:;,  and  rain,  which  happen  almost  every  day, 
duriiiy;  one  half  tlieyear.  Some  yeasTs  since,  the  shoals  in  the  vicinity  of  tV//,/; 
Nattiras  were  fouiul  so  dangerous,  so  extensive,  and  soshallow,  many  of  them 
covered  with  not  more  than  8  or  10  fectwater,  that  no  vessels,  in  that  latitude, 
ventured  within  7  leagues  of  the  land. 

At  present,  the  out-shoals,  which  lie  alx)ut  13  miles  S.E.  of  the  capo,  are 
but  of  5  or  6-  acres  extent,  and  where  they  are  really  dangerous  to  vessels  of 
mi'deratc  draught,  not  a-bove  half  that  extent.  On  the  shoalest  part  of  these 
i"^  about  10  feet  at  low  water  ;  and  here,  at  times,  the  (Kean  breaks  in  a  tre- 
menduous  manner,  spouting,  as  it  were,  to  the  clouds,  from  the  violent  agita- 
tion of  the  Gulph-sircatn,  which  touches  the  eastern  edge  of  the  banks,  from 
which  the  declivity  is  sudden,  that  i«  to  say,  from  10  fathoms  to  no  soundinijs. 
t)n  the  spot  above  menrione*!,  which  is  lirm  saml,  it  has  been  the  lot  of  many 
a  good  vessel  to  strike,  in  a  gale  of  wind,  and  go-  to  pieces.  In  nioderatc 
.  vcathcr  however,  these  slmals  nwty  he  paascd  over,  if  necessary,  at  full  tide, 
without  n>uch  danger,  by  vt'sseis  not  drawing  more  than  8,  9'"'"  10  feet  water. 
From  this  hank,  fornu'rly  of  vast  extent,  and  ctiUcd  the  FuU-inoon  shoal,  a 
ridge  riins  the  wi-.ole  distitnce  to  the  cape  about  a  N.W.  course,  is  about  half 
a  mile  wide,  and  at  low  water  ha^  '^ynerally  10,  11,  and  1 2  feet  water.  There 
arc  gaps  at  cjual  ii'-tervid^,  allording  channels  of  about  13  or  l6"  feet  water. 
The  most  iiotetl  of  these  is  about  a  mile  and-  a  half  from  the  land, anil  is  about 
I  mile  wide,  and  niiglit  at  I'hII  sea  be  safely  passed  by  the  largest  ships  ;  but 
is  rarely  used  except  by  coasting  vessels.  It  may  be  easily  known  by  a  rant;e 
of  breakers  always  seen  on  the  west  side,  and  a  breaker  head  or  two  ou  the 
«astern  side  ;  which,  however,  are  not  so  constant,  only  ajipearing  when  the 
s^a  is  considerably  agitated.  A  little  north  of  the  cape  ia  good  anchoring  in  4 
or  5  fathoms,  and  with  the  wind  to  the  westward,  a  boat  may  kind  in  safety, 
and  even  bring  olf  casks  t>f  fresh  water,  plenty  of  which  is  to  be  found  every 
where  on  the  beach,  by  digging  a  tool  or  two,  and  putting  a  barrel  into  tiie 
land.

Directions  Jlpr  coining  in  from  sea  for  the  coast  (t/^  North- 
Carolina. 

WHEN  you  are  steering  in  for  this  coast,  you  should  endeavour  to  keep 
about  a  degree  to  the  southward  of  the  latitude  of  the  place  which  you  intend 
to  make,  until  you  reckon  yourself  upon  the  edge  of  the  Gulpfi  stream,  and 
then  your  own  judgment  will  direct  what  course  is  best,  according  as  youHnd 
the  wind  to  blow.  Do  not,  if  possible  to  prevent  it,  go  to  the  northward  of 
33"  CO*  N.  hit.  until  you  get  into  10  fathoms  water ;  in  this  depth  you  will  be

N.  In  approaching  the  coast  in  33°  20'  lat.  your  first  soundings  will  be  from 
30  to  Q5  fathoms  :  in  this  depth  you  will  be  very  near  to  the  inner  edge  of  the 
Ciilph  stream.  When  you  get  into  17  fathoms,  you  will  have  fine  grey  sand, 
with  black  spots  ;  in  this  depth  of  water  there  is  a  long  llat.  In  steering  W. 
you  will,  for  the  first  5  or  0'  leagues,  shoal  the  water  very  little ;  when  you 
come  into  14  fathoms,  you  will  shoal  your  water  quicker,  but  gradually.  l\\ 
10  fathoms  water  you  will  sec  the  land,  if  the  weather  bech'ar ;  and  you  may 
then  be  sure  that  you  are  within  the  Fri/ingpaii.  From  the  outside  of  this 
shoal  you  can  sec  no  land  bearing  to  the  westward  of  N.W. 

In  order  to  go  over  Cfl/>c  Tear  Imr, you  must  take  care  not  to  bringthe  pitch 
of  the  ca|}e  to  the  eastward  of  E.  by  N.  until  you  have  brouglit '  lUitilfirait  to 
bear  N.  ^  E.  when  the  channel  over  the  bar  will  be  fairly  op<M) ;  and,  if  the 
weather  be  so  bad  as  to  prevent  your  getting  a  pilot,  you  may  steer  in  N.  ^  E. 
without  being  apprehensive  of  danger.  At  such  times,  the  middle  grounfl  on

point,  lies  l!.;'  !i.  end  of  iha  Joiner's  Ixiii/i ;  it  thence  e.\t«Miils  W.N.W.  about 
3.^  miles,  anil  lias  ;3j  fatlioinson  it  at  low  water.  Hilton's  In  ad  is  on  the  S.  side 
of  the  harbour,  and  is  a.  hiijher  Itlulf  point  of  land  than  any  theiealiouts. 

Ttibcc  inlet  lies  .'i  leagues  S,W.  J  W.  from  the  entrance  of  I'Dit  lioi/at  S(>i:tA 
cliannel ;  between  them  is  Hilton's  head  island  ;  it  is  hirge,  fertile,  and  well  in- 
habited. From  this  island  the  Gaskin  hunk  extends  about  8  miles  on  the  broad- 
est part.     Vuu  may  proceed  along  this  liauk  in  5  fathoms  water. 

J^ome,  when  bound  to  I'ort  Royiil,  reckon  it  best  to  make  the  land  about 
Tiibee,  because  the  lij;lit-house  makes  that  part  of  the  coast  distinguishable

On  this  coastit  isobserved,  that  N.F.  easterly,  and  S.K.  winds  cause  higher

Strongly  to  the  southward,  and  theebb  tothenorihward;  further  olf  from  the

Directions  for  sailing  into  *Savannalij  in  Georgia. 

Mariners  sailing  into  this  port  will  observe  the  following  marks  and 
buoys,  viz.  a  large  buoy  lies  on  th^  outer  edgoof  the  bar,  in  the  deepest  water, 
having  all  the  leading  marks  on  t!ic  beacon  and  light-house  in  one,  bear 
ing  W.  \  N.  distant  -!■  miles,  Anotlicr  buoy  lies  in  the  same  diiection,  one 
lYiile  within  the  bar.  A  tliinl  buoy  lies  one  mile  farther,  W.  by  N.  from  the 
second.  A  fourth  buoy  lies  N.W.  by  \V.  from  the  third  ;  alter  passing  which 
there  is  safe  anchorage  for  a  large  ileet,  in  -1  or  j  fathoms,  at  low  water,  the 
light-house  bearing  S.S.W. 

The  buoys  lie,  and  lend  in  the  deepest  water,  having  a  channel  half  a  mile 
to  the  nortliwanl,  and  one  (]uarter  of  a  mile  to  the  southward  of  them,  (in  the 
narrowest  place)  nearly  the  same  depth  of  water,  and  there  arc  10  feet  on  the 
bar  at  lowest  tides. 

You  may  sail  eitlier  side  of  the  buoys.  If  in  the  night,  and  you  are  to  the 
northward  of  Ti/bcc,  be  caretulof  sfoing  nearer  thvGatUn bank  than  5  fathoms. 
]\[arlin'ii  Industry  is  a  bad  reef,  lying  to  the  nortliwanl  ot  the  bar,  and  tho 
south  breakers  to  the  southward.  In  fresh  winds,  you  take  a  pilot  abreast  of 
the  light  house — in  moderate  weathei'without  the  bar.  In  clear  weathcryou 
may  see  the  light-house  at  the  distance  of  \'l  miles. 

Forty  miles  S.  of  Saraniiah  lies  Siinburi/,  a  i)ort  of  entry,  at  the  head  of  St. 
Catharine's  sound,  between  Medxcaij  and  Neuport  rivers,  about  15  miles  S.  of 
Ogeeeh  rivn;  There  is  a  bar  here,  but  the  harbour  is  capacious  and  safe,  and

Winds  and  xvcathcr  on  the  coast  <?/ South-Carolina. 

\VIIF,N  t'e  wind  blows  hard  in  the  N.E.  quarter,  without  rain,  it  coni- 
rionly  continues  to  blow  violent  for  some  lime,  perha])s  3  or  4  dnvs  ;  but  if 
iuch  winds  aie  attended  with  ruin,  they  generally  shift  to  the  E.  E.b.  C  and 
S.K. 

S.E.  winds  blow  right  in  on  the  coast,  but  they  seldom  blow  dry,  or  con- 
tinue long;  in  o,  8,  or  10  hours  alter  their  commencement,  the  sky  begins  to 
look  dirty,  which  soon  produces  rain.  When  it  coines  to  blow  and  rain  very 
Jmrd,  you  may  be  sure  that  the  wind  will  lly  round  to  the  N.W.  ([uartcr,  and 
blow  very  hard  for  CO  or  30  hours,  with  a  clear  sky. 

N.W.  winds  are  always  attended  with  citar  weather.  They  sometimes  blow 
very  hard,  but  seldom  do  so  longer  than  30  hours. 

The  most  lastiiii-  winds  are  thu.se  which  bh)\v  from  the  S.S.VV. and  W.N.W. 
and  froui  the  N".  to  the  F..N.F,.  When  the  wind  is  in  any  of  these  quarters, 
the  weather  is  the  most  settled. 

Thunder  Ejusts  are  very  common  on  this  coast  in  Ihe  summer  time  ;  fliey  al- 
ways coni('  irom  the  N.W.  cjuarter,  and  arc  sometimes  so  lie:ivy  that  no  can- 
vas can  withstand  their  furj- ;  they  come  on  so  suddenly,  that  the  greatest 
precautions  are  necessary  to  guard  against  the  eft'ects  of  their  violence. 

From  I'ydcc  inlet  to  St.  Simvn's  head  the  course  is  S.  by  W.  |  NV.  and  the 
distance  10'  leagues;  and  from  Tylvv  inlet  to  the  bar  on  the  entrance  of  St, 
Simon  the  course  is  S.  by  W.  and  the  distance  1.9  leagues.  Between  them  are 
tlie  followinf;  sounds,  viz.  Warsaw,  Iluxulm,  St,  Catharine's,  Sapclh, imd  Little 
Simon's.  In  proceeding  from  'fi/lice  for  St.  Simon's  sound,  you  will  have  from 
4  to  7  fathoms  vater;  the  shore  of  the  several  islands  which  lie  between  thena 
is  Hat,  and  the  shoalings  as  you  approach  are  gradual. 

St.  SiiiKiii's  liar  lies  yor  10  miles  Irora  St.  Simon's  fort :  the  fort  is  on  the  S. 
end  of  St.  Sitnon's  inland,  and  by  its  white  appearance,  makes  this  place  re- 
markable. About  a  mile  and  a  half  to  the  southward  of  the  fort  is  the  south 
end  of  Jckijl  idand,  which  is  easily  known  by  the  trees  apperring  as  an  um- 
brella, and  therefore  called  the  Umbrella  trees.  In  order  to  sail  over  the  bar, 
bring  a  large  round  tree  which  stands  to  the  westward  of  the  sound,  right 
on  with  the  middle  of  the  opening  between  St,  Simon's  and  Jekyl islands ; 
bring  also  the  three  trees  which  stand  together  to  the  westward  oi St,  Simon's 
fort,  just  open  to  the  southward  of  the  fort,  and  then  steer  west,  until  you  are 
over  the  bar.  On  the  bar  you  will  have,  at  three  quarters  flood,  about  ip 
feet  water.  The  width  of  th(!  bar  is  about  three  (juarters  of  a  mile:  the  ex- 
tremities of  the  sands,  on  each  side,  generally  shew  themselves  by  the  breakers. 
'Ihe  north  break  head  and  the  south  break  head  bear  of  each  otherS.K.  by  E: 
and  N.W.  by  W.  Come  no  nearer  to  the  north  break  head  than  half  a  ca- 
ble's length.  The  ground  on  the  bar  is  hard,  but  without  and  within  the  bar 
it  is  soft.  When  the  south  end  of  Jehijl  island  bears  S.W,  .J  W.  the  N.F.  point 
<j{  St.  Simon's  island,  cnWt^il  St.  Simon's /letid,  N'.byW.  and  the  rfiund  tree, 
which  stands  to  the  westward  of  the  sound,  is  on  with  tiie  iniddlc  of  the  openiii;» 
between  Jekt/t  islandand  that  of  St.  Simoti,  you  are  on  the  middle  of  tlie  bar. 

When  you  come  into  4 J  fathcnns  water,  you  are  within  the  bar,  and  should 
then  steer  W.by  N.  J  N.  There  is  a  middle  ground  in  the  fair  way,  but  y(,u 
need  not  fear  it,  because  there  arc  always  3  feet  more  water  on  it  than  on  ihc 
bar.  Give  thefort.in  passing  it,  a  birth  ol' about  a  cableand  an  hall'slength, 
and  at\chor  with  the  fort  E.  by  S.  in  3  fathoms  water  ;  you  will  then  be  about 
;hree  quarters  of  a  mile  from  the  fort. 

The  tide  flows  on  the  change  and  lull  days  of  the  moon,  as  follows,  namely, 
in  the  sound,  9  o'clock  ;  on  the  bar,  half  past  7  o'clock;  and  in  the  oflj:!^, 
3  quarters  past  6  o'clock;  ■      .     .    ..

PASSES,  OK  MOUTHS  OF  TMK  MISSISSIPPI. 
About  8  leagues  below  Phupimiines,  the  Mississippi  divides  itself  into 
three  channels,  which  are  called  the  passes  of  the  river,  viz.  'i'he  FaisI,  South, 
jind  Honth-Wcst  passes.  Tlieir  course  is  fiom  5  or  0'  leagues  to  the  sea. 
Tut  space  between  is  a  marsh  with  little  or  ni)  limber  on  it  ;  but  from  its 
situation,  it  may  hereafter  be  rendered  of  importance.  The  Eiist  pass  which 
is  on  the  left  hand  going  down  the  river,  is  divided  into  1  branches  about  '2 
leaj^ues  below,  viz.  the  pass  a  la  Loutrc,  and  that  known  to  mariners  by  the 
name  of  tije  lializo,  at  which  there  is  a  small  block-house  and  some  huts  ok 
the  jiilots,  wlio  reside  only  hcie.  Tiie  first  of  these  secondary  channels  con- 
tains at  pre^iCiit  hut  S  feet  water;  the  latter  from  1+  to  It)  accordinj:;  to  the 
seasons.  The  South  pass,  which  is  directly  in  front  of  the  Mississijipi,  has 
always  been  considered  as  entirely  choacked  up,  but  has  10  feet  water.  'I  he 
South-west-pass  which  is  on  the  right,  is  the  longest  and  narrowest  of  all  the 
passes,  and  a  few  years  ago  had  18  feet  water,  and  was  that  by  which  the 
large  ships  always  entered  and  sailed  from  tiie  ?.lississippi.  It  has  now  but 
8  feet  water,  and  will  probaiily  remain  so  for  some  time.  In  speaking  ol  the 
«|uantity  of  water  in  the  piisM's,  it  must  be  understood  of  what  u  on  the  bar 
of  each  pass;  for  immediately  after  passing  tlic  bar,  which  is  very  narrow, 
there  arc  from  j  to  7  fathoms  at  all  seasons. 

COUNTRY  FROM  TIIRPLAQUKMINES  TO  TIIF.  SF.A,   AND  \'.Y- 

Fi:cr  oftiil:  iiuuricani.s. 

FROM  Plaquemines  to  the  sea  is  1'2  or  13  leagues.  The  country  is 
low,  swampy,  chieHy  covered  with  reeds  having  little  or  no  timber  and  noK't- 
tlement  whatever.  It  may  be  necessary  to  mention  here,  that  the  whole 
lower  part  of  the  country  from  the  r.nglish  Turn  downward  is  subject  to 
overflowing  in  Hurricanes,  lither  by  the  recoiling  of  the  river  or  retlux  from 
the  sea  on  each  side  ;  and  on  more  than  one  occasion  it  has  been  covered 
from  the  di'pth  of '2  to  10  feet,  according  to  t!ie  descent  of  the  river,  where- 
by many  lives  were  lost,  horses  and  cattle  swept  away  and  a  scene  of  desiruc- 
li'>ii  laid.  The  last  calamity  of  this  kind  hiqipcned  in  \l[)i-  :  but  fortunate- 
ly they  are  not  frecpient.  ill  the  preceding  year  the  engineer  who  superin- 
tended tli<;  erection  of  tln'  I'.uf  ol  P!a(picmines  was  drowned  in  his  house 
»e;!r  the  fort,  and  the  w-'rl^r.ic.i  and  giiriison  escaped  only  by  taking  retugc 
on  an  elevated  spot  in  tiie  fort,  on  which  tii<ri'  w.'n-  noluilhslanding  '2  or  3

NF.W-Oni.F.AN'^. 

BY  recurrins  to  the  maps  and  cxaminim:;  ihe  position  of  I.(.ui>iaiia,  it  will 
sppear  that  the  lower  part  projects  considerably  into  the  sea.  It  bus  in  all 
probalility  been  formed  by  the  sediment  brought  down  by  the  current  an.l 
deposited  on  the  Hat  coast,  'riieie  is  theielore  on  the  east  siiie  but  a  very 
narrow  slip  alonf;  the  bank  of  the  river,  Irom  the  sea  to  the  Iberville.  '1  !.• 
land  is  not  generally  susceptible  of  cultivation  more  than  a  mile  in  depth 
from  the  river,  the  rest  is  low  and  swampy  to  the  lakes  and  the  sea,  but  in 
};eni'ral  abounds  with  cypress  timber,  which  is  sav\ed  ly  mills,  which  ar« 
worked  by  artificial  streams  from  the  Mississippi  in  the  time  of  freshes.  1  hey 
generally'  run  live  months  in  the  yt-ar. 

What  has  iieeii  said  of  tiie  east  equally  applies  to  the  west  si.le  of  the  rivor. 
The  soil  and  situation  arc  nearly  the  same.  After  leaviui;  t!ie  bank  ot  the 
river,  there  is  an  immense  swamp,  inteisrcted  by  creeks  and  lakes,  exte!uiiii<;

THE  best  and  most  improved  are  above  the  city,  and  comprchrnd,  whnt 
IB  there  known  by  the  Paroissc  de  Chapitoulas,  Premier  and  Second  Cote  dc* 
Alleiiiands,  and  cNtend  l6'  league?. 

Above  tills  begins  the  parish  of  Catahano«e,  or  first  Acadian  setllcmcni, 
extending  8  leai^ues  on  the  river.  Adii>ining  it  and  still  ascending  is  the  Cd 
Acadian  settlement  or  parish  of  the  Fourche,  which  extends  about  ()"  league^. 
The  parish  of  Iberville  then  commences,  and  is  bounded  on  the  east  side  by 
a  river  of  the  same  name,  which  tiio'  dry  a  groat  ii.irt  of  the  year,  yet,  when 
the  Mississippi  is  raised,  it  communicates  with  the  hikes  Maurepas  and  Pon- 
chartrain,  and  througii  them  with  the  sea,  and  thus  forms  w  hat  is  called  the 
island  of  New-Orleans.  KxcejU  on  the  point  just  below  the  Iberville,  tlie 
country  from  Nev.-Orlcans  is  settled  the  wh(»le  way  along  the  river,  and  pre- 
sents a  scene  of  uiiintcrruptcil  jilantations  in  sight  of  each  other,  whose  fronts 
to  the  Mississippi  are  all  cleared,  and  occupy  on  that  river  from  5  to  2j  a- 
cres  with  a  depth  of  40  ;  so  that  a  plantation  of  .5  acres  in  front  contains 
200.  A  few  sugar  plantations  are  formed  in  the  j)arish  of  Catahanose,  but 
the  remainder  arc  devoted  to  cotton  and  provisions,  a:itl  the  whole  is  an  ex- 
cellent soil  and  incapable  of  being  exhausted.  The  plantations  are  but  one 
deep  on  the  island  of  New-Orleans,  and  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  river  as 
far  as  the  mouth  of  the  Iberville,  which  is  35  leagues  above  New-Orleans. 

CAVOU  Di:  LA  FOIUCIIK— .VTACAPA8,  AND  OPFLOUSAS. 

ABOUT  25  leagues  from  the  last  mentioned  place  on  the  west  side  of 
the  Mississippi,  the  creek  or  Bayou  of  the  F>  urrhe,  called  in  old  maps  I,a 
Riviere  des  Chitamaches,  flows  iroin  the  Mississippi  and  coi-nnniiiictites  v.ith 
the  sea  to  the  west  of  the  Balise.  The  entrance  of  the  Mississippi  is  naviga- 
ble only  at  high  water,  but  will  then  admit  of  craft  of  from  60  to  70  tons 
burtiien.  On  both  banks  of  this  cieek  are  settlements,  cii;c  plantation  deep, 
for  near  15  leagues,  and  they  are  divided  into  two  parishes.  The  H'ttleis 
are  numerous  though  poor,  and  the  culture  is  universally  cotton.  On  all 
creeks  making  from  the  Mississippi,  the  soil  is  the  same  as  on  the  bank  of 
the  river,  and  the  border  is  the  highest  part  of  it,  from  whence  it  descends 
gradually  to  the  swamp.  In  no  place  on  the  low  lands  is  there  depth  more 
than  suffices  for  one  plantation,  before  you  come  to  the  low  grounds  incapa- 
ble of  cultivation.  This  creek  afl'ords  one  of  the  communications  to  the  two 
populous  and  rich  settlements  of  Atacapas  and  Opclousas  formed  on  and 
near  the  small  rivers  Teche  and  Vermillion  which  ilow  into  the  bay  of  Me\- 
ico.  But  the  principal  and  swiftest  communication  is  by  the  Bayou  or  creek 
of  Plaquemines,  whose  entrai\ce  into  the  Mississippi  is  seven  leagr.es  higher 
up  on  the  same  side,  and  32  above  New  Orleans.  These  settlemcnls  abound 
in  cattle  and  horses,  have  a  large  (juautity  of  good  land  in  their  vicinity,  and 
may  be  made  of  great  importance.  A  part  of  liieir  produce  is  sent  l>)  sea 
to  New-Orleans,  but  tiie  greater  part  is  carried  in  battcaux  by  the  creeks  u- 
bovc  mentioned.

i;urifl</wi,  iibinit  70  or  SO  leagues  to  the  eastward,  you  will  (in;l  the  water 
discoloured  and  prodi^jiously  thick,  as  it'  there  were  soundings,  but  there  iire 
none,  and  you  may  depend  on  being  at  the  distance  aforesaid  of  that  island, 
r.ndeavour  to  keep  in  lut.  12°  50',  or  betwixt  that  and  13°  which  will  make 
you  sure  of  the  island  ;  observe  also  there  is  near  half  a  po'.it  east  variation. 
The  island  of  Harficuhes,  which  lies  out  of  the  line,  and  to  the  windward  of 
the  Cairilfce Uands,  is  of  a  moderate  heiglit  and  pretty  level,  save  a  few  hills 
hep?  and  there,  of  an  easy  ascent ;  though  originally  (juite  overspread  with 
wood,  there  is  little  now  remaining,  being  mostly  cut  down  to  make  room  for 
suiiar  and  other  plantations.  The  island  may  be  seen  in  clear  weather,  12  or 
13  leagues  ofl',  and  e.t  other  times  only  8  or  10  leagues.  The  cast  end  is  mtioh 
lower  than  the  other  parts;  but  when  coming  from  the  eastward,  and  tlu; 
north  end  ot  the  inland  is  bearing  W.  by  N.  and  W.N.W.  about  5  leagues  from 
you,  and  the  S.W.  ])oiiit  hears  W.S.W.  then  the  eiisleninioNt  point  of  Burhn- 
does  appears  to  be  the  hiiihe.st  hind  ;  fror.i  this  east  pomt  tti  the  southward, 
the  land  is  even,  and  declines  towards  the  sea,  but  between  the  cast  and  the

Always  endeavour  to  be  on  the  south  side  of  the  island,  along  which  you 
mav  run  within  three  miles  of  the  shore,  till  you  come  to  Nce'l/uini'i  point,

At  the  bottom  of  this  hay,  (where  there  are  very  commodious  wharfs  for 
the  shipping  and  landing  of  goods,)  stands  Bridgetoun,  the  principal  town 
ot'  Hnrbudors. 

'J'he  S.E.  part  of  the  island,  from  South  point  to  Kitridge's  point ,  is  sur- 
rounded by  u  hilne  of  rocks,  which  are  called  by  some  Colder  b  roeks,  from 
one  ot  the  most  remarkable  among  them  ;  they  extend  about  a  mile  from  the 
shore,  and  you  must  be  ctireful  not  to  fall  in  with  them  in  the  night.  At 
South  point,  (called  sometimes  Oiafin'a  point)  about  6"  miles  to  windward  ot

11\Z  ISLAM)  OK  TOBAGO. 
FROM  Roibuducs  to  the  north  point  of  Tobago,  the  distance  is  36 
leagues  :  the  course,  by  compass,  isS.  J.>  leaj-ues,  which  will  bring  you  about 
b  leagues  ti>  w  indward  of  the  island.  It  is  common,  with  most  pilots,  trt 
steer  is.  i  K.  but  with  that  cour.-e  they  are  exposed,  when  in  the  latitud"  of 
Tubiigu,  to  be  at  least  10  lea;.;ues  to  the  eastwaril  of  it.  As  the  land  is  pret- 
ty hi;;h,  it  may  be  seen  at  the  distunceof  Ijleaj^ucs,  or  more,  in  clear  weatn- 
er,  and  you  must  always  endeavour  to  <;et  on  the  north  side  of  the  island  ; 
that  side  is  bold  and  clear,  till  you  s;et  down  about  J)  miles  trom  5/,  (ii/ts' 
rocks,  wliere  there  are  several  rocks,  above  water,  called  1  he  Sinters.  They 
lie  two  miles  lioni  the  shore,  ami  are  boUl  to.  When  abreast  of  these  rocks 
you  may  see  the  west  end  of  the  island,  which  is  low  and  sandy,  and  to  the 
westward  of  them  you  may  heave  as  near  the  shore  as  you  i)lease. 

Tohngo,  like  Barlxulocs,  lies  out  (d"  the  line,  and  to  the  windward  of  the 
Carribfc  islands.  The  latitude  of  the  N.K.  end  is  11"  2y'  N.  the  longitude  is 
59«  57'  NV.  trom  London.  It  is  not  es:po,ed  to  those  dread'ul  hurricanes 
wliichare  so  <lestructive  in  the  other  islands. 

if  you  make  Toliago,  towards  the  evening,  and  arc  afraid  of  running  in 
with  it,  you  must  not,  by  any  means  lay  too,  but  stand  to  the  southward,  un- 
der an  easy  sail  ;  otherwise  the  current,  which  always  sets  to  the  N.W,  or 
N.  v..  will  probably  occasion  \our  losing  sij;lit  of  the  island  ;  and  if  it  should 
set  to  the  N.W.  would  perhaps  carry  you  so  far  to  leeward,  that  you  could 
not  be  able  to  letch  it  again. 

Though  ^I'ohago  does  not  possess  any  liarbours,nropcrly  so  called, it  has^cvcral 
good  bayj,  which,  considerin;;  that  from  their  southern  latitude,  they  arc 
7ie-      exposed  to  dangerous  gules  of  winds,  are  equally  convenient  and  secure 

-■.pping. 

.n  goin^  to  any  of  the  bays  to  the  leeward  of  the  island,  you  m.iy  run  as 
near  to  St,  (»'(7c.v'  rochs,  (mi  the  north  point)  as  you  chuse,  and,  if  u,inng  into 
Man  of  IVur  liaij,  may  borrow  as  near  the  north  piMiit  of  that  bay,  as  you 
please.  Vessels  sailinj^  from  the  eastward  for  the  south  side  of  the  island, 
must  keep  well  to  tlu;  southward,  otherwise  the  current  round  Liltlc  To- 
bago, (which  runs  alwajs  to  the  N.W.)  will  sweep  them  alway  to  the  noith- 
ward.  To  the  S.W,  there  is  nothing  to  fear,  till  you  come  to  Courlaiid  ban, 
but  what  sliews itself,  except  Chcslvrfnld  rock.  This  is  a  sunken  rock,  wiih  <) 
feet  upon  it,  at  low  water.  It  lies  above  half  a  mile  from  the  shoio,  near  '.he 
east  point  of  Minister  buy, 

'I'lie  currents  near  Tobago  arc  very  strong  and  uncertain,  especially  between 
that  island  and  Trinidad.  The  north-east  trade  wind  blows  all  the  year 
round.     A  t  the  full  iUtU  change  of  tlic  luoou  the  sea  rises  4 1'ect  perpendicular.

leasjiies ;  there  is  a  deej)  and  i;ood  channel  betwixt  the  two  idands. 

■$/.  l,utia,  which  is  about  10  leagues  in  li  n<;lh,  and  about  5  in  bieadth,  is 
a  very  hinh  nnd  broken  land,  covered  with  forests.  Some  of  the  mountains 
rise  like  pinnacles,  to  an  astonishiiii;  height,  and  are  very  sleep  :  others  have 
broader  ba>es,  and  are  covered  witli  woods,  to  lbe^ulnmit,  which  ternii.iati'S 
in  the  craters  of  the  volcanos.  These  volcanos  ind  ed  are  all  ixiiausted.  ex- 
cept one,  wiiicii  the  French  call  La  Soutfriere,  ('1'!..  sulphur  hill)  on  the  S, 
W.end  of  the  island.  The  crater  lies  on  un  eminence,  between  tv  n  mouiv- 
taiiis. 

About  1}  mile  to  the  west  of  the  volcano,  on  tiie  sea  shore,  star. i  two  hii;h 
peaks,  called  by  the  French, /.fi  P/V(;«.v,  and  by  tin.  Miij^lisb  the  Sugf-'' 
loavrv  ;  they  lie  very  niijli  each  other,  but  between  ihein  i.s  opening  enoi'  n 
to  distin<;uish  them  both,  when  you  come  from  the  southward. 

On  the  west  sideof  »S7.  7",i/c«V/,  less  than  3  leagues  from  the  Ores  ii  C.  U

there,  secure  iiLjainst  llie  hurricaiics,  wilhout  t!ie  trouble  of  beiiij^  moored. 
Add  to  this,  that  no  ships  can  enter  without  warpiii;4  in;  fbeic  is  always  a 
breeze  to  carry  one  out,  and  in  less  than  an  liour,  iIk;  larj^est  s(iuadron  may  \ni

come  within  ()  yards  of  them. 

A  league  to  the  southward  of  the  Carenagr,  lies  the  Grand  Cid  de  Sac,  and 
two  lea:;ues  to  the  northward,  the  Bai/  ofGrus  Islet,  both  excellent  roads 
for  large  vcissels. 

The  course  aloni;  5/.  Lucia,  from  the  point  Du  Gros  Pifon  to  the  Gros  Islet, 
is  N.N.F.  .9  lca;jiues. 

When  bound  from  the  northward  to  the  Carcnage,  you  will  sec  a  blutT, 
two  leagues  to  leeward,  whirh  you  may  ma'  •  bold  witli  ;  you  must  haul 
close  in  to  see  the  harbour  ;  run  into  the  m""".;i  f  it  as  far  as  you  can  fetch, 
and  warp  in  ;  w  hen  the  sun  shines  you  will  sec  ail  the  dangers. 

If  at  any  lime  you  should  have  occasion  to  anchor  at  the  south  oi  St.  Lu- 
eia,  there  is  a  fine  deep  bay,  called  Mannf  fVurbay,  {Ance  de  Vicuxfort,  by

Tin:  ISLAND  OF  MAIITINICO. 


FROM  tlie  nortli  end  of  St.  Lucia,  calleil  tlie  Capf,  to  Point  Salivr; 
or  tlic  south  end  ot'  Martinico,  the  course  is  N.  easterly,  about  6  leagues. 
This  is  the  narrowest  part  of  the  channel  that  divides  tlie  two  islands. 

From  (J run  hlct  bay  to  Diamuiid  rock,  the  course  is  V.  by  W.  about  7 
leagues. 

Martinico  is  about  12  or  13  leagues  in  lengtli,  and  lies  N.W.  by  N.  and 
S.  F.  by  S.  ;  its  breadth  is  extremely  uiiequU,  and  scarcely  any  where  more 
than  4-  or  .5  leagues  ;  and  if  you  include  the  promontories,  which  project  in 
many  places  one  or  two  leai^ues  beyond  the  rest  of  the  island,  its  circumfcr- 
iMite  will  include  above  .'Jo  leaf;ues.  The  land  is  very  uneven,  and  every 
where  iulorsected  with  large  hummocks,  in  the  form  of  sugar  loaves.  Three 
mountaini  rise  above  those  innumi'rable  hummocks,  the  highest  of  which  has 
been  a  volcano  ;  it  appears  like  the  oowu  of  a  hat,  and  may  be  plainly  seen 
on  any  side  of  the  island  you  come. 

J'ort  Rdi/ul,  on  the  south  side,  and  at  the  bottom  of  a  deep  bay,  called  the 
Cul  dc  S'lc  lioi/ul,  is  the  thief  town  o{'  Martinico.  It  is  very  advantageously 
situated,  near  an  excellent  harbour,  and  under  cover  of  a  peninsula,  which  is 
entirely  occupied  by  a  fort,  formerly  the  residence  of  the  Governor-General 
of  the  French  Wiiiduord  inlands.  'I'hat  part  of  the  Cul  de  Sac  is  called  the 
C'arenage.     The  town  is  situated  to  the  N.N.W.  and  N.W.  of  the  fort. 

The  harbour  and  the  road  are  incumbered  with  several  Kej/s,  or  shoals, 
rom[K)sed  of  hard  gravel,  limestones,  and  coral :  those  keys,  from  their  num- 
ber, as  well  as  from  their  situation  arc  very  dangerous  to  strangers  ;  but  they 
may  be  consi»Iered  as  the  safety  of  the  road  and  harbour,  s:nce  no  large  ship 
would  attempt  to  sail  among  tliem,  without  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the 
channel.     The  watering  place  is  at  Kiwr  Monsieur,  to  the  east  of  the  fort. 

Point  Salinc.i,  or  the  south  end  of  Martinico,  is  low  land,  and  has  three 
small  rocks,  or  islands.  When  they  bear  west  t'rom  you,  you  may  see  be- 
tween them  and  the  point :  within  this  point,  to  the  westwarti,  the  Engli.sh 
ship  Raimmatde  was  lost,  otY  Fort  and  Point  Clurdin ;  it  must  therefore  bea- 
voided. 

The  Diamond  Rf«/r,  and  the  southernmost  little  inland,  (called  Kid  island) 
at  Point  Salines,  lie  from  each  oilier  W.  ly®  N,  and  F.  lf)''S.  about  lOmile-. 
This  rock  stands  about  a  mile  from  the  shore.  There  is  no  going  within  ilio 
rock,  but  on  the  south  side  it  is  bold.  From  Diamond  rock  to  the  entrance 
of  the  CW  de  Sac,  or  Purt  Uoija!  Iniij,  the  course  is  N.N.W.  distance  4  or  't 
leagues,  'i'here  are  three  small  coves  bet-veen,  the  southernmost  of  whicli  is 
called  Littk  Diamond cmc,  anti  the  two  others  Lcs  Jnces  d'Arlct.  The  norlli 
side  of  the  bay  is  bold,  and  so  is  the  south  side,  till  you  get  above  P/gam  isl- 
and, (Islet  a  Hauliers  J  whicli  isasnuill  green  islaml  on  ilic  south  side  of  the. 
bay,  bearing  from  the  fort  about  S.  by  F.  In  working  into  this  bay,  observe 
to  keep  your  lead  going  ;  when  standing  to  the  southward,  if  you  weather 
P/geo« /i/u/it/,  you  may  anchor  ill  wha' water  you  please.  The  wind  is  the 
common  breeze. 

TIjerc  is  a  ground  about  the  middle  of  the  bay,  the  lower  end  of  whicii 
lies  a  mile  and  a  half  below  the  fort  ;  it  runs  a  long  way  up  the  bay,  above 
the  fort;  the  least  water  on  it  is  3  fiithoms,  but  there  is  from  10  to  20  fath- 
oms on  each  side  of  it.  below  that  ground  you  may  stand  bold  over  lioiii 
«de  to  side. 

If  you  are  bound  from  liarhudocs  to  Martini/io,  the  course  is  N.W.  by  N, 
allowing  for  a  lee  current,  or  N.W.  about 'JS  leagues,  will  bring  you  from 
the  north  end  of  Barl^ndnv.s  to  Vuiiit  Sulinrs ;  then  you  may  shape  your  coui>'! 
along  shore  for  the  Diamonds  there  is  no  danger  if  bouuU   for    Port  Pto^ui.

When  past  the  Diamond  3  leagues,  you  will  sec  a  large  bny  open ;  haul  up-, 
and  the  fort  will  be  in  view.  Turn  up  towards  the  fort,  till  yuu  bring  it  N. 
or  N.  by  £.  then  you  will  anchor  in  8  fathoms,  two  miles  distance.  If  de- 
sirous to  go  tarther  in,  you  will  get  otlthe  bank,  and  come  into  14  or  I?  fath- 
oms ;  that  is  the  deepest  and  best  ground.  In  upon  the  bank,  the  ground  is 
corally,  but  no  rocks.  If  you  anchor  in  the  bay  against  the  town,  bring  the 
church  to  bear  N.  and  steer  right  in,  by  reason  of  a  bank  off  the  fort,  not 
above  0'  teet  water  thereon.  You  may  make  bold  with  a  low  point  to  tha

ing, if  bound  to  Pigeon's  island  bay,  go  round  the  N.E.  point,  and  you  will 
see  open,  between  the  island  and  the  main,  a  small  channel  for  sloops,  when 
very  well  acquainted  ;  but  go  round  (he  island,  and  borrow  as  near  as  you 
please  and  turn  in.  The  south  shore  is  steep  to;  bring  the  westernmost  part 
of  the  island  to  bear  N.  W.  by  W.  or  N.N.W.  and  you  will  anchor  in  7,  8, 
or  9  fathoms ;  the  bay  is  clear  ground,  but  do  not  anchor  too  near  to  the 
eastern  shore,  by  reason  of  a  bank  that  breaks,  when  a  great  swell. 

In  April,  l?72,  the  variation  of  the  needle  was  found  at  Fort  lloyal,  by  re*

de  Sac  Kot/al,  as  well  as  in  other  parts  of  the  island  :  at  the  e(|uinoN,  they 
rise  about  l6  inches,  and  at  other  times,  between  8  and  12  inches^  French 
measure. 

Port  St.  Pierre,  (St.  Peter  J  the  trading  town  of  JVftfrtiniVo,  lies  about  four 
leagues  to  the  N.W.  of  Fort  Royal,  in  14'  44'  north  latitude.  It  is  built 
l>artly  upon  the  rising  grounds,  at  the  foot  of  a  ridge  of  hills,  and  partly  along 
the  shoreof  a  spacious,  circular  bay,  which  forms  an  open  road  to  the  south- 
ward and  westward.  The  best  anchoring  place,  called  the  Frigate's  Anchor' 
age,  lies  in  the  southernmost  part  of  the  road,  (Where  you  see  some  steep 
el  ill's  and  rocks)  in  7  fathoms,  gravelly  ground.  If  you  bring  the  highest 
steeple  of  the  town  N.  by  E.  somewhat  northerly,  ana  Point  Carbet  (oh  the 
Kouth  side  of  the  road)  south,  you  will  have  7  fathoms,  oozy  ground. 

If  you  intend  to  stay  some  time  in  this  road,  it  is  proper  you  should  lie 
with  one  anchor  close  to  tlie  shore,  to  the  S.E.  or  E.S.E.  (or  even  on  shore) 
and  the  «)ther  to  the  N.W. 

In  the  hurricane  months,  that  is  from  the  15th  July  to  the  15th  Octob«r, 
ships  cannot  lie  with  safety  in  this  road,  and  ought  to  leave  it  oil  the  l5th 
July,  at  farthest.  If  they  are  to  remain  for  a  longei-  time  at  Martinico,  they 
must  retire  into  Fortjtioyal  bay,  where  they  lie  secure  against  the  hurricanes: 
they  may  also  find  shelter  in  Trinity  baj/,  to  the  windward,  and  on  the  north 
side  of  the  island.  1  he  whole  circumference  of  iliuiYiwito,  as  we  have  ob- 
M  rved  already,  is  indented  by  large  bays,  at  the  bottom  of  which  are  flns 
iandy  coves,  and  very  good  harbours,  sheltered  by  long  points,  projecting  in- 
to the  sea,  but  all  these  are  nut  sate  in  the  winter  season. 

When  you  come  frcmi  the  eastward.  If  yo^  intend  to  Sail  by  the  north  sida 
of  Mtirtiuico,  you  are  to  take  your  departure  from  the  Canel,  a  small  rocky 
island  that  lies  2  miles  north  of  the  easternmost  point  of  the  island,  in  14* 
51'  north  latitude ;  in  running  along  which  you  will  be  exposed  to  sudden 
flurries,  which  a(c  very  frc(|uent,  on  account  uf  the  narrow  openings  of  the 
mountains,  ami,  if  the  top-gallant  sails  are  up,  you  mustkcepa  lookout  after 
the  hallyards. 

Point  Miicouha,  the  northernmost  of  the  island,  is  in  14*  53'  north  latitude, 
is  remarkable  for  a  waterlall  of  the  same  name ;  it  ik  a  kind  of  torrent  fal- 
ling into  the  sea  from  the  top  of  a  high  rocky  coast. 

About  5  miles,  further  W,  byS.  you  will  sec  a  round  rock,  detached  from 
the  land,  called  the  Pearl,  and  to  the  southward  of  it  are  the  little  islands  of

THE  ISLAND  OF  DOMINICO. 

FllOM  Pearl  rock  near  the  N.  W.  end  ofMarliaico,  to  Point  Cachacroti, 
or  Scots  head,  m  Dotninico,  the  course  is  about  N.N.W.  8  leaj^ucs.  'I'his 
island  is  about  8  leagues  in  length,  aiid  lies  near  N.N.W.  and  S.S.E.  It  is 
fcxtreinely  mountainous,  and  appears  rugijed  and  brokoii.  li  bears  in  giciit 
]dcnty  all  the  wdods  which  are  common  in  the  Wcnt-liidics,  and  produces 
abundance  of  whut  they  call  ground  provisions.  There  arc  properly  speak- 
in;;,  no  harbours  in  Dominica  ;  but  thcrcis  good  and  v.xXc  i.nihoragc  along 
,lhu  west  side,  which  is  all  bold  ;  though  ships  lie  CNposcd  to  strong  westerly 
winds,  as.  indeed  in  almost  all  the  roiuh  oi  xXw  Vnrrihe  idands  :  but  those 
winds  prevail  only  in  the  winter  months.  Thi;  road  of  the  town  of  P^ascau,

About  4  miles  from  the  north  end,  lies  b  most  nohic  bay,  called  Prince  Ra- 
yeil'.f,  which,  besides  its  safety,  its  magnitude,  the  depth  of  the  water,  and 
the  ^^oodness  of  the  anchorage,  has  thu  advantage  of  three  fresh  rivulets  run- 
ning into  it. 

On  the  north  side  is  the  l<ig!i  remarkable  bluffs,  called  Prince  Tliiprrl's 
head,  by  which  the  bay  is  easily  known.  The  south  point  (Hollo's  head)  is 
pretty  low,  but  both  point>  are  boK!  to,  so  that  in  working  in  j'ou  may  stand 
bobily  over  from  side  to  side,  which  is  near  3  miles  over  ;  the  bay  is  about  \\ 
mile  deep  ;  you  may  anchor  in  what  water  you  please,  and  moor  W.X.W. 
and  E.S.K. ;  the  best  anchoring  is  rather  ou  the  north  side.  Thcrcarc  three 
rivers  running  into  the  bay,  where  yoii  may  water,  but  the  middle  and  north 
rivers  arc  to  be  preferred.  The  best  wooding  place  is  on  the  north  part  of 
tiie  bay. 

If  you  are  bound  to  Dominico  from  Barhaifo<-s,  you  must  steer  N.N.W.  till 
you  pass  Marlinico  ;  then  a  ^'.^V.  course  will  carry  you  to  the  northward  of 
Dominico.  Leaving  il/«;v/nv</i/;//c  on  the  starboard  side,  haul  up  close  iti 
with  the  north  point  of  Dominico  ;  you  will  see  a  round  bluff,  making  like  an 
island,  if  at  some  distance ;  go  round  that,  and  open  Piincc  linpvrl's  bay  : 
turn  into  the  north  part,  and  anchor  in  7,  8,  or  <)  fathoms.  Vou  will  see  the 
mouth  of  a  large  river,  anchor  to  the  northward  of  that,  half  a  mile,  andyoii 
will  be  opposite  to  a  small  river,  which  you  water  at,  the  best  in  the  bay  ; 
the  great  river  is  brackish.  There  is  another  river  to  the  southward,  where 
you  may  anchor  in  0'  fathoms,  clear  ground  ;  but  in  10  fathoms  you  will  liav'e 
coral  rocks. 

The  town  oi  Roseau  lies  in  15°  18'  north  latitude,  and  iii°  22'  west  Ion",

THE  island  oiGnaduloupe,  one  of  the  largest  of  the  Carribccs,  is  near 
6*0  leagues  in  circumference;  its  form  is  vcrv  irregular  ;  it  is  cut  in  two  hy 
an  arm  of  the  sea,  called  the  Salt  river,  diinmisiiiiig  in  width  from  50  to  I.1

tons,  wiiilht  in  otIuTs  they  have  scarce  water  enougii  for  a  burivof  50.  The 
length  of  this  strait  is  about  2  league's. 

That  part  of  the  island  on  the  we.sl  of  Suit  river,  whicli  gives  its  nnme  to 
the  whole  colony,  is  divided  into  two  by  a.  ridge  of  very  high  mountaiiis  run- 
ning north  and  south.  Towards  the  s;uih  poii.t  rises  in  the  middle  region 
of  the  air,  a  mountain,  called  7-«  Soiifi'rierc,  (Sulplu;r  hill)  like  the  volcano 
v,i  St.  Lucia,  that  exhales  a  thick  and  black  smoke,  au.\e.l  with  sparks,  which 
are  visible  in  the  night. 

The  chief  place  o'i  Guaildonpc  is  the  town  cf  lia-.wtcrrc,  on  tl;c  west  si<Ie,

custcrnmost,  and  Tcrie  d'cn  has  (Lower  Land)  which  is  the  westernmost. 
According  to  a  very  exact  bearing,  the  S.W.  point  ot  the  westernmost  Suint 
lies  S.  27"  30'  E.  of  the  S.  point  of  Guadahvpe,  distance  8  miles ;  the  least 
depth  between  them  and  the  main  island  is  17  fathoms.  But  the  best  chan- 
nel is  on  the  south  side,  for  in  the  former  there  is  a  sunken  rock,  which  lies 
1 J  mile  from  the  Saints.  These  islands  are  so  happily  arranged, that  in  the 
midst  of  them  there  is  as  fine  a  road  for  shipping  as  any  in  the  neighbour- 
hood. The  Saints  are  all  bold  to,  though  they  appear  to  be  a  parcel  uf 
rocky  islands. 

IWV.  Island  of  Murvgalantf,  vihowX  i  miles  to  the  eastward  of  the 
Saints,  with  a  good  channel  between,  is  about  the  height  of  Marbadoos,  and 
rises  gradually  towards  the  north.  At  the  south  end,  and  the  east  side,  aie 
dangerous  rocks  underwater,  and  reefs  which  stretch  about  one  league  in 
^h^se^;  bu!  the  west  side  is  a  good  lair  white  shore,  with  good  anchorage 
in  several  places. 

Fr«mi  the  north  end  of  Maryga/ante  to  Desfada,  the  course  is  N.N.E.  n- 
tout  8  leagues,  and  the  channel  good,  keeping  the  middle ;  but  there  is  a  ve- 
ry small  sandy  island,  called  Vetitt  Tene,  which  lie*  ri;dil  in  the  fair  way  ; 
i,t  is  about  3  miUa  long  from  N.W.  to  S,l;'.  and  is  divided  in  two  by  achnnno),

(I'oitit  Chateau)  which  is  remarkable  by  a  parcel  of  grey  rocks,  distance 
fibout  5  or  6.  miles.  There  is  no  passage  between  Vetitc  'icrre  and  the  main 
island  for  any  thing  but  small  craff.  There  is  pretty  good  aiichoring  by  Pe-

AVJipn  yon  make  the  land,  give,  it  a  birth  till  you  come  a  quarter  down  ; 
then  haul  in  till  you  come  into  14  fathoms,  and  then  you  may  run  with  sate- 
ty,  keeping  that  draught  of  water.  If  the  water  should  .shallow,  haul  ofl";  but 
if  deeper,  haul  in,  till  you  bring  in  Ship's-stern  to  bear  S.  J  K.  Then  haul  up

white  ground  may  be  seen  I J  mile  before  you  come  to  it.  The  best  water  on 
it  is  3  fathoms.  West- northerly  Irom  that  3  miles,  and  about  the  same  dis-

more  than  4  feet  water,  and  3  fathoms  round  it — N.  by  W.  westerly,  distan^-e 
not  a  mile,  there  lie  two  other  shoals,  having  3  fathoms  water  at  least.  West

.statin  is  a  steep  rock  rising  out  of  the  sea,  to  u  great  height,  about  3  miles  iti 
length,  and  2  in  breadth.  At  a  distance  it  appears  in  the  manner  of  a  sugar 
loaf,  ascending  up  in  a  round  hill  ;  but  coming  near,  it  alters  its  shape,  and 
seems  somewhat  long.  This  lotk  is  c(;n;posed uf  two  niouniains,  wlu'tcmid-

THE  ISLANDS  OF  SAXTA  CRUZ,  ST.  JOIIX,  ST.  TIIO.ALU  BIEQL'n,  &c 

SANTA  CRUZ,  or  Suiitt  Croi.r,  is  the  southernmost  of  the  flrgifi 
i.sldiuk;  it  lies  \\.  by  N.  from  Sanilij  point,  in  St.  Kilts,  distance  23  leamies. 
The  island  is  not  very  lii^h,  but  full  of  hummocks,  two  of  which,  on  the  east 
side,  arc  hi;;hcr  tiian  all  the  rest.  It  is  of  a  triangular  form,  its  length  beins» 
about  8  leagues,  and  ihc  <j;reatest  breadth  2  leagues.  On  the  S.K.  end  is  a 
flat,  stretching  a  great  way  into  the  sea  ;  the  whole  south  side  is  bordered 
with  reefs  and  shoal«,  which  make  it  dangerous  to  come  near.  Santa  Crnz 
is  badly  watered.  The  cliief  town,  called  Chrlstianstird,  is  situated  at  the  bot- 
tom of  a  bay  on  the  north  coast,  under  the  cannon  ot  a  fortress  winch  defends 
ihe  principal  harbour.  The  other  town,  named  Frulriclidad,  lies  on  th.e  west 
side 

From  the  town  ofVfirisfinn.<ad,  to  the  S.W.  point  of  Si.  John's  inland,  tbt 
coui-se  is  N.  by  E.  about  (i  Ungues.  In  the  channel,  about  6  miles  S.  by  W. 
of  this  pi^int,  lies  a  remarkable  round  rock,  called  Bird's  Jia/,  or  Frcnv/ikej/, 
which  is  about  a  quarter  as  lar^e  as  liedotido,  near  Monscrrat. 

Si.  Ju/in's  is  2  leaLUes  broad,  and  4  in  length  ;  it  is  the  best  watered amonj

to  the  leeward  <>f  Antigua. 

The  ca.st  point  of  this  harbour  is  called  Moor's  point,  and  is  of  a  moderafe 
iize  ;  but  the  walls  of  the  fortress,  which  are  all  white,  may  be  seen  7  or  8 
leagues  off.  You  have  reaukir  sour.diiiiis  from  a  little  wiliiout  the  Moor'spoint

and  runs  a  long  way  to  the  northward.  ,         •    ,        ,  , 

Observe,  in  coming  in,  to  leave  one  third  of  the  channel  to  windward  from 
the  Moor'spoint,  and  two  thirds  to  leeward  towards  the  key,  ami  you  will 
not  have  less  than  5  fathoms  water. 

There  '»  a  small  bank,  which  does  not  shew  itself,  and  lies  right  off  from 
the  gate,  a  cable's  lcn<;th  from  shore,  with  only  JO  feet  water  on  it. 

Tiic  watering  place'is  at  the  south  bide  of  the  town,  just  without  the  south 

gate,  but  the  water  is  brackish. 

If  y(m  are  bound  to  JV/om-o,  from  the  eastward,  night  comnig   on,  and 

you  otV  the  E.N.li.  part  of  St.  John's,  you  will  take  notice  of  the  easternmost 

liiij;h  land  ;  it  is  inland  a  little  from  the  east  end  of  the  island,   which    is  loAv. 

You  may  run  to  the  westwa-  1  till  you  bring  that  high  land  to  bear  S.  by  E. 

and  then  bring  to  till  morning.     But  take  great  care  that  this  high  land  docs 

not  deceive  you,  for  it  lies  a  long  way  in  the  country,  and  it  is  all  low   land 

by  tiie  water  si<!e.     In  the  morniHg  make  sail ;  you  may   see  the  walls   and" 

works  all  wiiitc  about  Moor's  point. 

From  the  south  pointof  St.  John's  island,  called  Ram's  head,  to  the  entrance 
ofi'^  7'/(on»M' A.7r6o«r,  the  course  is  N.W.1  W.  6'.}  leagues;  and  from  the 
N.  side  of  Santa  Cruz,  N.N.W.  i  N.  lOleagucs.  The  latitude  of  St.  Thomas' 
town  is  18"  21'  56"  N.  o         , 

The  island  o(  St.  Thomas  is  about  the  length  of  5^  John's,  but  narrower. 
Its  soil  is  sandy  and  badly  watered.  The  principal  advantage  of  St.  Thomas' 
island  consist*  in  a  very  good  harbour,  on  the  south  side,  where  50  ships  may 
tic  very  secure. 

In  running  down  from  St.  John's  to  St.  Thomas'  harbour,  you  leave  Frenci 
hry  to  the  scru-thward  of  you,  and  you  continue  your  W.N.W.  course  tjll  you 
come  down  to  Buck  kcps  ;  they  are  much  lower  and  longer  than  i'rcnch  key,. 
before  mentioned,  and  "there  is  a  small  opening  of  no  consc<iuence  between 
them.  You  leave  these  keys  to  the  southward  of  you*  about  one  mile,  and 
then  steer  N.W.  when  you  bring  them  S.E.  and  continue  thai  N.W,  course 
nboul  2  or  3  miles,  till  \  ou  bring  the  harbour  open  ;  then  haul  in  for  the  towa 
N.  by  \V.  or  N.N.W.  giving  the  east  slunv  all  along  a  good  birth,  and  ruiv 
within  half  a  luilc  of  the  fort,  which  is  white  and  plainly  seen  at  theea.st  of  the 
town.  You  anchor  in  5  fathoms  water,  line  clear  ground  ;  it  is  a  fine  harbour, 
where  vou  are  landlocked  from  allwiiwls,  but  from  theS.  by  \V.  to  S.K.  by  S. 
Which  part  lies  open  to  the  sea ;  but  the  wind  seldom  bhws  in,  unless  it  is  in 
the  hurricane  months.  There  is  a  rock  above  water  in  the  harbour's  mouth, 
(called  Prince  Hupcrt's  cliff,)  which  you  leave  to  the  eastward  of  you;  you 
iaay  make  bold  with  the  west  side  of  it,  but  there  is  no  passage  witliin. 

From  St.  Thomas'  harbour,  if  bound  to  Vortorico,  being  in  tlieofiing,  steer 
W.  by  N.  till  you  come  down  the  length  of  the  west  end  of  the  island,  which 
is  about  3  leagMcs  from  the  harbour.  You  will  see  a  M)iall  island  called  Lit- 
tle passas^r,  about  4  or  5  miles  to  the  wesi'vard  of  the  west  end  of  Little  St. 
Thomas.  Little  St.  Thomas'x^  a  small  island  that  almost  Joins  with  the  west 
cud  of  the  Great  island ;  there  is  a  small  opening  b4."tween  tliem,  but  if  no  note. 
Thereis  bkewisea  channel  of  small  importance  between  Little  passai^e  and  Little

ihoip,  and  is  called  TAtthSaba  ;  it  is  foul  all  round,  and  raust  have  a  gooc^ 
liirth  ;  all  the  shore  along  these  islands  must  be  left  on  your  starboard  hand. 
Inrunuini;  down  till  you  pass  Little  passage,  you  have  soundings  all  the  way, 
but  deep  in  some  places. 

VV.S.W.  J  S.  from  the  mouth  of  St.  Thomas'  harbour,  above  4  leagues,  and 
S.W.  by  S.  7  miles  from  the  west  point  of  the  island,  lies  a  remarkable  rock 
in  the  middle  of  the  chiinnel.  It  is  round,  rugged,  and  double  pointed,  as 
high  as  licachy  head,  aid  may  be  seen  5  or  tt  leaj^ucs  oil',  being  all  white  with 
the  bird's  dung  ;  it  appears  at  some  distance  like  a  sail,  whence  it  has  been 
Called  St.  Thomas'  larvel,  or  5^  Thomas'  hoy.     This  rock  is  bold  too  all  round. 

Two  leagues  and  a  half  from  the  Carvel  is  Great  pasiage  island,  bearing 
west  from  the  west  end  of  St.  Thomas  about  4  leagues.  Several  keys  and  rocks 
lie  round  this  island,  and  chiefly  to  the  westward  of  it  ;  they  are  culled  the 
Tiopi'^  ^fj/'S  f>'<"n  'he  great  number  oi' Tropic  birds  breeding  there.  Great 
passage  island  iiwi'ii  have  a  large  birth  ;  the  channel  between  the  two  Passage 
islands  is  near  3  leagues  broad  ;  keep  nighest  the  little  one  to  the  caslsvard, 
leaving  all  the  others  to  the  southward. 

The  island  of  Portorieo  is  high  land,  and  may  be  seen  from  offS^.  Thomas, 
JAttle  passage  island  is  2  miles  in  len!;th,  and  about  as  high  as  liarbadoes  ; 
Great  passage  island  is  about  the  same  height,  and  three  times  as  long  as  the 
former ;  there  are  two  or  threesmall  islands  a  little  to  the  northward  o( Little 
passage  island. 

The  course  through  the  Passage  islands  is  N.VV.  or,  if  you  have  but  little 
wind,  keep  N.N.W.  for  fear  of  a  calm,  and  lee  current,  the  west  side  being 
foul,  and  dangerous  without  wind.  Vou  must  keep  that  N.W.  course  tillyou 
bring  the  E.N.K.  point  of  Portorieo,  which  is  a  low  jjoint,  to  bear  W,  by  S. 
orW.S.W.  and  then  you  may  steer  west,  which  course  will  carry  yon  to  St. 
Juan,  tlie  chief  town  of  Portorieo.  I'lom  thcwcst  end  of  Little  passage  island 
to  Spill-stqff"s  keys,  which  lie  2  leagues  from  the  N.E  end  of  Portorico,\.\\ii 
course  is  W.N.W.  9  leagues  ;  and  the  shoalest  water  5  fathoms. 

S.W.  of  St.  Thomas'  harbour,  7  or  8  leagues,  and  3  or  4  south  of  Great 
passage  island,  lies  the  island  of  Bicque,  called  also  Crab  island,  from  the  great 
fjuantity  of  crabs  that  are  found  there.  It  is  about  as  hit);h  as  Marygalente, 
with  a  rich  soil,  and  full  of  trees  almost  ^^u  over.  Thewes-tend,  on  the  N.l!, 
part,  islow  and  smooth  land,  like  sandy  ground  ;  but  towards  the  S.W.  thero 
are  hills,  and  from  those  hills  to  the  west,  low  broken  hummocks ;  then  to  the 
S.W.  higher  hills  and  hummocks.  From  the  west  end  oH  luttle  passage  island 
to  the  east  end  of  Craft  island,  the  courseis  S.  J  W.  5  league? ;  5^  fathcmisone 
mile  from  the  shore.  In  going  to  Crab  island,  be  sure  to  run  down  the  south 
side  of  it,  for  the  north  part  is  foul.  You  may  sail  witlun  2  or  3  miles  of  the 
»hore  all  the  way  down,  till  you  come  to  the  west  end,  and  then  you  will  see 
n  low  sandy  point ;  anchor  on  the  south  side  of  that  point,  you  will  not  have 
above  3  J  or  4  fathoms,  two  miles  off.  You  may  run  in,  till  you  bring  that 
low  sandy  point  to  bear  N.  by  E.  J  E.  and  the  south  point  of  the  bay  S.E. 
then  you  will  be  1  .^  mile  from  the  shore,  in  4  fathoms  water.  Mere  is  plenty 
of  fi^h  to  be  caught  wi(h  a  seine,  oi>  the  nonh  side  of  the  low  sandy  point,  in 
the  morning,  and  ;;ood  wood  of  different  kinds ;  water  is  to  be  had  about  half 
a  mile  to  the  southward  of  the  low  sandy  point,  a  little  way  from  the  west  side. 

Crab  island  lies  about  5  leagues  from  Portorieo,  being  3  or  6  leagues  lonn, 
and  2  broad.  It  is  uninhabited ;  the  English,  who  have  attempted  twice  tu 
settle  there,  have  been  driven  away  by  the  Spaliiards.

241 


TORTOLA,  a  few  miles  to  the  eastward  oi''  St.  Johns,  is  the  principal 
of  the  English  I'irgin  islands;  it  is  near  5  Iciigues  long,  and  '2  In'cmd,  but  bitdly 
watered,  and  has  the  name  of  being  unhealthy  ;  the  cotton,  which  they  culti- 
vate there,  is  very  much  esteemed  by  the  manufacturers. 

Tlie  town  is  situated  on  the  south  side,  at  the  bottom  of  a  I)ay2  miles  deep, 
with  a  pretty  good  road  at  the  entrance,  with  1'2  fatiioms  waior,  goodKiound. 

Virgin  Gorda,  (that  is,  theG'/rr;/  Virgin,)  or  rvnislon,nm\  by  a  ct«rrupti.)n 
generally  adopted  Spanish  tozcn,  lies  4  leagues  to  the  east  of  'J'vrlola;  its  form 
is  very  irregular  ;  it  is  very  high  land,  about  0"  leagues  long  (rum  east  to  west, 
still  worse  watered  than  Tortola,  and  having  fewer  inliiiuitaiits,  wh'i  cultivate 
tobacco,  indigo,  cotton,  and  pease  ;  their  common  food  is  iish  a.ul  potatoes, 
thej'  drink  rain  water,  which  they  keep  in  wooden  casks.  It  is  asserted,  that 
the  mountain  which  rises  in  the  middle  of  the  island  contains  a  silver  mine. 
Virgin  Gorda  has  two  good  harbours;  the  largest,  called  Ea.\t  buy,  lies  on  the 
north  side,  and  you  may  anchor  very  lafe  at  the  bottom  of  il,  in  5  fathoms; 
the  other  is  on  the  west  side,  where  the  town  is  situated  in  18"  18'  N.  lat. 

The  course  from  Snba  to  Virgin  Gvrdu  is  N.W.by  W.  northerly,  above  21 
leagues.  Wiieii  Virgin  Gorda  bears  from  jou  N.\V.  by  \.7  leagues  off,  tlie 
Virgins  appear  like  tlirec  islands,  with  a  great  many  »mall  ones  about  them  ; 
the  middlemost  is  tlie  longest,  and  when  you  come  within  3  leagues,  they  seem 
as  if  they  were  joined  together. 

To  the  south  of  the  west  end  of  Virgin  Gorda,  lies  the  Fallen  city,  or  Old 
Jerusalem  a  parcel  of  little  broken  islands,  and  rocks  just  above  water, 
stretching  abouto  leagues  from  north  to  south:  attheirsoulh  end  is  a  remark- 
able rocky  island,  called  Round  rock;  the  next  island  is  caMcd  Ginger  island  ; 
between  which  and  the  Round  rock  is  the  eastern  passage  into  the  Virgin's 
gang-icat/,  called  the  King's  channel ;  there  is  no  ground  in  the  passage  with 
the  hand  lines. 

To  the  west  of  Ginger  /.v/ahJ  lie  several  small  islands,  called  Cooper's,  Salt, 
Peter's,  Normand's,  and  iVifch  islands.  'I'hey  bound  the  i'irgin's  gang-j:n)/  on 
the  south,  as  the  islands  of  St.  John's,  Tortola,  Heel,  wiih  Dog  islands,  and 
Virgin  Gorda,  terminate  it  towards  the  west  and  north.  The  de])th  in  tho 
Virgin's  gang-way  is  from  10  to  25  fathoms.  It  is  abciit  8  iiagues  long,  and 
from  2  to  4  broad.  The  north  entrance  lies  between  Dog  island,  to  thi;  east 
Vi  Tortola,  and  the  N.W.  point  of  Virgin  Gorda-  being  aboii;  half  a  league 
liroad  ;  the  south  entrance,  whose  breadth  isabo\e  Oiie  league,  is  between  Sf, 
John's  and  Hitch  island:  there  is  another  entrance  ff'  i  .e  imrthof  St.  Joint's, 
scarce  a  mile  over,  which  is  the  western  passajje  o'  .iic  A'i/^'^  cAa/jHc/just

Three  or  four  leagues  to  tlie  north  of  Virgin  ( 'cda,  lie.-  .4ncgada,  or  the 
Dronned  island,  about  as  big  as  the  first.  Tli's  isl.<i)d  is  very  low,  and  almost

the  niiddie  of  the  eimance  ot  the  narrows,  between  that  island  and  Ani^uda. 

THE  ISLAND  OF  SOMBRERO. 

BETWEEN  the  Virgin  islands,  and  that  of  AnguiUn,  lies  a  small  rocky 
island  about  2  miles  in  )ei>^th  ;  k  consists  of  a  very  flat  eminence,  wiihout 
any  hu.  :inock  upon  it,  cov«red  witii  birds,  from  tlio  southward.  You  can- 
not descry  this  island  further  otf  than  j  or  6  leagues  at  most. 

It  has  on  the  east  side  several  rocks,  and  is  surrounded  with  a  large  shoal, 
whose  furthest  extent  is  to  the  westward. 

The  latitude  of  iiimlirefo  is  IS"  3»'  N.  and  its  longitude  is  639  29'W.fron* 
London.  Two  leagues  oft' .S'omArero,  when  it  bears  from  E.N.E.  to  E.  by  S. 
is  found  from  33  to  '22  fathoms,  uneven  ground  and  rocky  bottom. 

Sotulireru  lies  about  10  leagues  du<j  east  from  Aucgadu,  and  in  going  be" 
tweeii  the  two,  you  have  5,  6,  7,  8,  and  lt>  fathoms  water.  The  course 
from  A'flAa  to  Somhrr.rit  is  N.VV.  by  N.  ^  N.  20  leagues. 

The  passage  to  leeward  or  windward  of  Sotnbrero,  is  very  clear  and  safe  ; 
there  is  no  swell;  the  winds  arc  generally  favourable  lor  going  out ;  and 
wluiu  onue  you  are  past  Somhrero,>i\[  obstacles  are  ut  an  end.

X)irections  for  sailing  along  tfie  south  side  «/'Portoiico. 

IF  you  are  bound  down  the  south  side  of  Portorico,  observe  you  will  se» 
(lie  S.E.  point  of  that  island,  when  lying  at  anchor  at  Crab  island;  it  bears 
from  thence  S.W.  by  VV.  J  W.  or  W.S.VV.  about  5  leagues,  and  is  called  Ctfjje 
lilalopoiw.  You  iisay  run  down  till  you  come  abreast  of  that  cape  within  3 
or  4  miles  of  it,  and  then  steer  west,  and  by  the  time  you  have  run  3  or  + 
leagues  down  past  the  cape,  an. I  that  it  bears  N.E.  you  will  see  a  large  breach 
'2  or  3  miles  long  which  lies  alortg  the  shore,  and  about  3  or  4  miles  off  the 
same.  Take  care  to  keep  a  mile  or  two  without  the  breach ;  and  in  running 
down  aback  of  the  breach,  you  will  descry  a  small  building  by  the  water  side, 
which  is  a  guard  house.  Be  sure  to  run  down  as  before  mentioned  till  you 
bring  that  guard  house  to  bear  N.  or  a  little  to  the  eastward :  then  you  may 
Iiaul  in  north  or  N.  by  E.  for  the  guard  house,  and  anchor  in  4  uthoms  wa- 
ter, the  guard  house  bearing  north,  or  N.  J  E.  or  N.  by  E.  distance  1  mile  ; 
And  the  west  end  of  the  breach  S.  by  E.  You  may  run  a  small  anchor  to 
the  N.W.  for  the  land  breeze  ;  you  have  no  shelter  from  the  sea  breeze  but 
the  breach.  This  place,  which  they  call  Guyama  or  Yatnma  hai/,  is  much 
fre(|uented  by  traders.  In  going  in,  although  you  give  the  west  end  of  the 
breach  a  good  birth,  you  must  keep  your  lead  going;  the  soundings  aie  irreg- 
ular, from  5  to  7,  or  i\  fatiioms  water,  and  then  it  shoals  gradually  as  you 
go  in  shore.  The  lami  is  low  by  the  water  side,  in  the  country  it  is  high  and 
uneven,  and  has  nothing  remarkable. 

In  gorngont  of  6'wj?am«  ftr/^  you  run  S.S.W.  or  S.W.  The  next  trading 
j)lai<'  is  called  Halinas,  and  lies  about  6'  or  7  leagues  to  the  westward  oi  the 
former.  After  you  are  out  of  Oaifama  bat/,  about  2  or  3  leagues  ofV,  yon 
may  steer  west  as  before,  passing  several  keys  to  the  northward  of  you,  which 
lie  Jiietty  nigh  the  shore  ;  and  when  yoii  have  run  alM>ut  0"  leagues 
down,  you  will  s«h!  one  of  those  keys  lying  a  little  further  off  shore  than  tii«

most  key  on  board,  within  a  cable's  length  ;  it  is  bold  too,  but  shonler  to  lee- 
ward, towards  the  breach.  The  guard  house  is  about  3  or  4  miles  from  this 
key,  and  may  be  seen  before  you  come  within ;  you  may  run  in  boldly  2 
miles  towards  the  guard  house,  and  anchor  within  a  mile  ot  the  same,  in  4  or 
5  fathoms  waf^r,  good  ground,  and  moor  to  tJie  N.W.  When  at  anchor,tho 
j>>uard  housi;  bearing  N.  ^  E.  there  's  a  good  watering  place  close  to  the  water 
side,  a  kind  of  iagoon,  which  is  about  N.  by  W.  from  the  ship,  and  half  a  mile 
to  the  westwardof  the  guard  house;  you  will  sec-  the  water  whitencar  aleague 
without  tlie  key,  and  have  soundings  from  12  to  7  fathoms,  very  graf'.URl,  but 
no  danger  of  anv  kind.  'I'here  are  several  keys  which  lie  within  the  bcfor* 
mentioned  key,  but  a  little  to  the  eastward  of  it.  In  running  in,  you  will  see 
(3  or  4  leagues  to  the  westward)  two  small  keys  at  a  little  distance  from  each 
other ;  one  of  them  looking  douliie,  the  other  single;  you  may  go  to  leeward 
of  them,  tialinas  is  a  good  trading  place,  as  well  as  a  place  of  safety  to  lie. 
in  :  it  is  about -6  leagues  <o  windward  of  the  Dead  chest,  which  at  most  times 
may  be  Acen  very  -plain  from  Salinas,  and  is  a  good  director  for  it. 

Jn  leaving .S'a/<«fl.s  runout  the  same  way  you  came  in.  After  you  get  with- 
out the  key.steer  S.S.W.  till  you  bring  the  Dead  chest  to  bear  west,  and  then 
run  down  boldly,  giving  it  a  mile  birth;  there  is  asmallkey  on  the  b.W.  part 
of  the  Dead  cheat,  about  a  cable's  lejigth  off,  but  there  is  no  going  between 
them,  as  the  interval  is  almost  dry;  you  must  give  the  west  point  oi"  that  key 
a  mile  and  a  half  birth,  then  haul  in,  and  you  may  anchor  under  the  lee  of 
,the  Dead  Chest,  in  what  water  you  please,  from  7  to  12  fathoms  water;  the 
west  pttint  of  the  small  key  bearing  S.  by  E.  J  E.  distance  1 J  mile,  and  ti.c 
north  point  of  the  Dead  Chest  N.E.  ^  E.  distance  from  the  shore  1  mile ;  thei. 
you  have  10  fathoms  water.  There  is  a  small  trading  place  <:alled  Bocachica, 
to  the  northward  of  the  north  end  of  the  Dead  chest,  with  the  guard  house, 
which  you  cannot  see  wlienyou  lie  at  anchor  Htthe  Dead  chest;  but  you  may 
rcacb  over  from  the  Dead  chest  boldly,  it  is  about  7  or  eight  miles;  keep  your 
lead  going;  you  will  have  from  7  to4  fathoms,  and  it  shoals  gradually  as  you 
come  niglier  the  Portorico  side.  There  is  another  small  trading  place,  call- 
ed Yamtiia  Granle,  2  or  3  leagues  to  windward  of  this. 

The  Dead  chest,*  or  Deadman's  c^M^lies  l6or  17  leagues  frtanCape Malo' 
passo,  the  east  end  of  the  island,  and  about  the  same  distance  from  CapeRox* 
(or  Red  cape),  which  is  theS.W.  end.  In  running  down,  as  before  mentioned, 
do  not  come  within  2^  leagues  of  the  shore.  After  you  get  a  little  without 
the  Dead  chesty  a  west  course  will  keep  you  clear  of  alh  keep  that  course  till 
you  bring  Cape  Roxo  (which  is  low  and  appears  prey,  and  like  two  keys)  to 
bear  N.E.  tlien  steer  N.W.  till  you  bring  tlie  island  Zacheo  N.  by  W.  from

N.  by  W.  and  St.  German's  point,  the  W.N.W.  end  of  Portorico,  It  is  a  very 
good  channel,  abotit  4  loagries  brood  ;  with  the  before  mentioned  courses

On  the  wpst  sicic  of  Varturko,  is  the  ^guflda  A^wciiflf,  one  of  the  finesl  roads 
for  bliijjping  in  all  tlic  fr«^///(/ipv,  bi'ing  sheltered  from  the  trade  winds  by 
the  island.  Here  the  galleons  and  llota  generally  anchored  when  they  came 
from  .S^fH//  ;  and  the  Barloxaito  fleet,  alter  they  had  been  at  Ciimanagote, 
Ciiinu  here  for  fresh  water  and  provision,  before  they  returned  to  Vera  CVus. 
You  may  anchor  in  this  road  in  23,  18,  14,  and  down  to  8  fathoms,  good 
ground.  When  in  23  fathoms,  soft  oozy  ground,  the  northernmost  point  bears 
from  you  N.N.  W.  3  miles,  and  the  other  S.  by  E.  about  2  leagues,  and  a  small 
village  amongst  liie  trees,  is  distant  about  one  mile.  In  coming  into  this  road 
from  the  northward,  you  may  sail  within  a  mile  of  the  shore  to  the  south- 
ward of  the  north  point,  there  being  10,  12,  and  15  fathoms  water  ;  and  af- 
ter you  are  about  that  point,  you  will  have  25  and  30,  soft  oozy  ground  : 
some  part  along  the  road  is  flat  and  rocky,  but  you  may  sail  all  rour /J  it 
within  half  a  mile  of  the  shore. 

Extract  of  the  Journal  of  an  experienced  Navigator,   along  the  south  side  of

"  May  19th. — At  5  o'clock,  p.m.  we  thought  we  descried  to  N.W.and

it  to  be  the  tiist\)oiut oi'  Portorico,  which  bore  from  us  N.W.  and  N.W.  by  N. 
distance  about  3  leagues  ;  I  steered  west  to  run  along  its  south  side, 

"  May  20tli. — At  half  past  5,  a.m.  we  saw  Portorico,  and  t\\c  Dead  chesty 
which  is  a  small  island  detached  from  the  main  one,  and  having  ihe  form  of 
a  coffii).  It  lies  vei y  neiir  the  middle  of  the  soutii  coast,  and  I  have  been  as- 
sured, that  tliere  is  a  passage  for  thclarcist  ships  between  it  .ind  the  main  land.

THK  nortl;  coast  of  I'orlorico,  which  extends,  like  the  south  coast,  east

;.nd  small  islands,  where  the  sea  beats  sometimes  with  violence.  On  that 
coast,  about  12  Ir.vi'.nes  from  the  N.K.  point,  is  the  town  of  67.  JiWMtiie  cap-

ed by  several  strong  forts.  They  have  no  water,  except  rain,  which  they  pre- 
serve in  cisterns.  Tliis  place  is  bilter  inhabited  than  most  Spanish  cities  in

The  Endi/mion  rock  lies  S.W.  by  S.  from  the  ho(\y  of  Sand  key,  distance  ft  or 
f)  miles.  The  danijerof  lliis  siioal  is  but  of  snwill  extent.  It  consists  of  7  of 
H  heads  of  rucks,  one  of  which  has  only  8^  feet  water  on  it ;  this  is  the  rock 
where  the  Knijlish  ship  Endgmion  was  wrecked  on  the  28th  of  August,  17P0, 
and  till  then  undiscovered.  Some  ofthe  other  rocks  have  2,  3,  and  4  fathoms 
on  them,  and  bei..'een  them  7,  8,  and  9  fathoms  water.  The  exact  sound- 
ings, between  the  key  and  the  sh(al,  could  not  be  ascertained  by  reason  of  the 
blowing  weather  and  for  want  of  time.  TJicre  arc  four  rocks  which  lay  otTto 
.  the  eastward  of  the  south  end  of  Sand  key,  two  of  them  shew  themselves  above 
the  water,  and  the  two  others  are  even  with  it.  The  reef  from  the  north  end 
of  the  key  stretches  to  the  northward  1^  or  2  miles,  and  has  some  rocks  out 
of  the  water.  The  channel  between  the  shoal  and  the  key  appears  to  be  clear 
and  spacious. 

Sand  key  makes  the  entrance  of  tlris^nioajn^  from  the  soutli,  and  it  is  very 
necessary  t«  make  it,  and  to  get  within  a  li  ^uc  or  two  of  it ;  you  may  pass

tinuing the«ame  course,  you  will  w^.  Great  mil  key  (Grand  Turk)  which  is 
«carce  3  leagues  from  the  little  one.  This  is  the  last  island  in  the  passage, 
and  you  may  keep  about  the  same  distance  from  this  as  you  did  from  the  oth- 
ers. When  you  have  brought  its  northernmost  point  to  bear  S,  F,.  2  leagues, 
you  are  clear  of  every  thing,  even  of  the  bank  of  rocks  which  lie  otl"  the  N.E.

N.  H,  In  coming  from  the  Florida  shore  this  way,  by  the  Riding  ruclm,  you 
ought  to  endeavour  to  the  making  (>f  the  south-easternmost  Briri/  island  em  ly

There  arc  several  small  harbours  on  'he  east  part  of  the  Berry  inland*,  where 
water,  and  other  refreshments  may  be  hi  d  ;  but  as  they  are  seldom  frequented 
but  by  the  people  of  I'rovidenct,  it  may  b«'  superfluous  to  say  any  thing  alwut 
them,  the  chart  shewing  their  situation. 

Something  might  be  said  with  regard  to  the  passage  by  Bernini,  but  it  being

In  the  passage  from  the  Hole  in  the  wall,  towards  the  Gulf  of  Florida,  it  i% 
necessary  to  give  the  west  end  of  the  Grand  Bahama  a  good    birth,  not   only 
on  account  ofitsshoals,  but  for  fear,  if  the  wind  should  hang  south-westward, 
you  should  be  embayed. 

The  North,  or  Little  Bahama  hank,  is  little  frequented  but  by  whalers  anit 
turtlers ;  and,  on  account  of  its  iron  bound  reefs,  is  not  to  be  approached, 
chiefly  on  the  N.W.  end,  called  Maranilla  reef:  the  tide  of  flood  setsun  in-

YOU  must  steer  from  the  north  end  of  Crooked  inland  towards  Rum  key, 
Vrhich  is  foul  and  rocky  all  round,  your  course  thither  being  N.N.VV,  about  14 
leagues  ;  from  thence  you  go  towards  Long  inland,  which  lies  west,  a  little 
southerly,  9  leagues  ;  a  W.N.  W.  course  carries  you  clear  of  it.  Long  inland 
is  about  18  leagues  in  length,  lying  N.W.  by  N.  and  S.E.  byS.  its  N.W.  end 
in  lat.  23*  30'.  About  6  leagues  from  the  N.W.  end  of  Long  island  to  the

£xuma  is  a  great  salt  island,  from  which  lie  an  innumerable  number  of  islands 
and  keys,  extending  for  35  leagues  to  the  N.W.  and  N.W.  by  N.  If  you  are 
bound  from  Exuma  to  Providence,  you  mtist  make  your  way  for  the  Ships

Directions  for  vessels  bound  from  the  eastward,  over  the 
Great  Eahama  13auk,  into  the  Gulf  of  IMexico. 

FIRST  take  care  to  make  the  Hole  in  the  uall,  af  the  south  end  of  Ahaco, 
and  from  thence  steer  W.  by  S.  13  or  14  leagues,  which  course  and  distance 
will  carry  you  to  Stirrup's  key,  the  northernmost  of  the  Berry  islands:  then 
run  S.W.  till  you  can  but  just  sec  it  off  the  deck  of  a  vessel  of  about  lOO  tons 
burthen,  you  will  then  be  in  8  or  })  fathom's  water,  and  about  7  leagues  from 
it.  Vext  haul  up  S.W.  by  S.  and  keep  ..o  nearer  to  the  southernmost  of  the 
Br;  -  islands  than  3  fathoms,  which  wii  je  when  you  have  run  on  that  course 
12  or  13  leagues,  you  will  then  begin  to  come  on  the  middle  of  the  bank, 
where  you  may  depend  on  finding  no  where  less  than  15  feet. 

But  on  coming  on  to  the  bank,  and  in  going  ott"  from  it,  you  will  find  a 
strong  tide,  which  sets  right  on,  or  right  oft";  it  is  easily  observed  to  go  aU)ng 
by  the  ground,  the  water  being  clear  and  transparent ;  on  the  middle  of  tlnj 
bank  you  will  find  little  or  no  tide.  If  the  wind  hangs  on  too  far  to  the  south- 
ward, it  will  follow  that  you  shall  be  forced  to -the  westward  ;  in  that  case, 
make  no  delay  in  coming  to  an  anchor,  lest  you  fall  in  with  the  bars  that  lie 
ti;  the  south  and  westward  of  the  Bernini  islumls,  and  extend  near  J  leagues.

Bayo/'Iluiiduras,  c^'c. 

YOUR  course  from  the  west  end  of  Jawahn,  or  Krgril,  by  south,  to 
Santantillit,  or  S:in/i'.s  islands,  is  \\ .  by  S.  a  little  scutherly,  distance  e,() 
leagues  ;  then  if  you  don't  make  those  islands,  yon  may  safely  haul  up 
S.W.  by  S.  and  not  more  southerly,  especially  Iroin  ihc  liist  of  November  to 
the  first  of  April  ;  thcfcc  months  are  subj<'ct  to  frequent  north  windsj  that  bljw 
excessively  hard,  and  make  a  jirodigious  sea,  which  with  the  currents,  then 
rapid  and  uncertain,  might  make  you  fall  in  with  Ctii  raiifa^eri  shoids,  called 
also  Hiil'hi/'.s  keys,  both  mtv  daiigeious  in  tl'.e  uighr,  or  thick  weathej,  whicli 
you  arc  almost  sure  of  meeting  with  in  nmlb  linies. 

Those  dangers  lie  about  125  leagues  to  flic  I'.,  by  S.  of  (Vr/r  Ccmarnn,  anil 
the  same  distiince  S.8.K.  frjiu  bivan's  is/ands,  wI.osvT  l.itliudc  is  l70C5'a 
S.W.  by  S.  course,  will  much  about  run  you  in  with  Co/ir  Caviaiav,  between 
which  and  the  above  shoals,  the  sliore  is  bold  to,  and  all  low  laiul,  till  you 
come  to  Hlackrivcr,  over  aback  of  which,  begins  tlie  hitih  land,  which  conti- 
nues to  the  westward  :  when  you  have  trade  this  high  land,  you  may  haul  up 
more  southerly  for  Black  river.  Your  mark  for  anchoring  is  to  bring  the 
Siifnar-loaf  /liu,  (so  nani'd  from  its  shape)  to  bear  south,  and  to  stand  in  1'2 
fiilioms,  then  anchor;  you  are  not  to  stand  nearer  than  1'2  fathoms,  onai.- 
comit  of  the  many  anchors  left  thcie  by  trading  vessels  in  the  north  time;^. 
This  is  a  wild  ()peii  roadsted,  anil  the  bar  is  too  dangerous  for  strangers  tont- 
temjit  it  with  their  own  boats,  almost  all  the  year  round. 

Your  course  froin  hence  to  Guatidja,  <n'  Honaca  islmid,  as  we  cfi.ll  II,  is 
W.N.W.  about  '20  leaiMies distance  ;  but  with  a  toierabie  breeze  of  wind  ycu 
will  soon  rise  it,  as  the  island  is  very  hii'h,  and  may  be  seen  fiom  Bliuk  riier 
bank  in  a  clear  day. 

But  if  you  should. not  have  occasion  to  call  on  the  Mo.;J,ito  shore,  fron\

by  N.  J  N.  distance  37  leagu?s.  This  last  is  sufest  from  the  Spaniards,  who 
often  harbour  in  Rattan  ;  "but  your  departure  from  Rattan  is  the  safest,  and 
inore  eligible  to  avoid  running  on  the  reefs,  as  the  distance  is  so  short  ;  this 
is  a  matter  of  prudence  depending  on  the  caj'tain.  Observe  to  time  well 
your  departure  from  either  place,  to  avoid  dau.;iT  in  the  night,  when  it  can- 
not be  discovered,  as  well  as  running  aground  where  there  is  no  possibility 
of  saving  a  ship.  The  Southern  four  hri/s  ought  to  be  made  in  the  forenoon 
to  get  to  anchor  before  night  at  Kci/  IMel,  or  farther  in  at  Water  hey,  as  the 
time  will  allow.  The  SouthernJ'our  keys  arc  on  the  south  end  of  a  reef  ex- 
tending 7  leagues  in  length  to  the  northward  ;  on  the  north  end  thereof  lie 
two  keys,  one  long  with  tall  trees,  and  the  other  a  small  spot  with  bushes  on 
if,  within  a  mile  to  the  northward  of  the  large  one. 

The  Southern  four  keys  in  lat.  17<»  12'  N.  The  easternmost  on  the  edge  of 
the  reef,  is  pretty  round  and  high,  with  a  large  ;andy  bay  on  the  east  sider 
the  wetternmost  is  a  long  key  with  tall  trees;  the  northernmost  is  the  next 
smallest,  when  you  come  from  the  eastward,  an  opening  shews  itself  in  the 
middle  ;  the  southernmost  key,  which  they  call  Hat  hey,  is  the  smallest,  with 
bushes  on  it,  and  is  near  the  south  point  of  the  reef;  from  this  to  the  east- 
ernmost key,  the  reef  runs  in  tlie  form  of  a  half  moon.  When  you  make 
the  sandy  bay,  on  the  last,  or  sooner,  you  will  sec  all  the  rest,  for  they  arc 
not  far  asinuler. 

From  the  south  end  of  this  reef  you  course  is  west  to  Key  Bokel,  distance 
7  leagues;  this  is  a  small  spot,  with  low  bushes  on  it,  lying  close  to  Turncff 
reef,  si  low  intersected  island,  which  is  10  or  12  leagues  long,  N.N.E.  and 
S.S.W. 

Glover's  ree/has  its  N.E.  end  due  south,  6  or  7  leagues  distant  from  the 
Southern/our  keys,  and  is  reckoned  with  reason  a  very  dangerous  place.  This 
reef,  which  n  named  by  the  Spaniards  the  Long  reef,  is  at  least  7  leagues 
long,  in  a  direction  S.W.  by  W.  and  N.E.  by  E.  No  keys  arc  to  be  seen  on 
it,  except  a  sniiill  spot  or  two,  towards  its  north  end  :  but  on  the  south  end 
there  lies  a  range  of  5  keys  at  least,  from  east  to  west. 

From  the  S.^V.  point  of  the  Southern  four  keys  to  Key  Bokel,  the  course  is 
\y.  J  N.  There  is  good  anchoring  at  tliis  hitter  key  to  "the  nortiiward,  and 
within  1  or  2  miles  of  it  ;  when  you  run  out  you  deepen  your  water,  but  two 
cables  length  in  is  far  enough  on  the  bank  in  -i  and  5  fiilhonis  water.  N.N'. 
W.  winds  make  the  roughest  riding  here  ;  it  is  a  rcndeiivous  for  Spanianls, 
therefore  a  good  watch  at  night  is  necessary,  for  fear  of  the  saiall  cralt 
which  lurk  utider  the  land.  ,  .

N.W.  by  N.  to  open  the  channel  bounded  on  the  south  by  Eii-^!iJi  /!cv,  inid

by  N.  and  when  you  come  near  (luiigX.s  hru  y<  u  will  see  a  small  spot  with

When  you  have  the  aforesaid  channel  ojien.and  Eir.pislilni  to  hear  west  of 
y->u,  steer  a  little  to  the  imrfhward  of  the  midJie  oV  th<;  chi-micl,  t;.wiirds

kill  (not  on  the  reef)  half  a  sail's  length  open  with  the  nurthwurd  of  the  s.-id 
key,  you  will  then  have  Strjeant's  fni/  ^hut  in  with  the  south  end  of  H'utcr  k,i/, 
and  begin  with  tlie  narrowest  part  of  the  channel  ;  so  keep  your  had  coing^ 
:ind  if  you  get  hard  bottom,  youare  on  the  Jl'ctit  .s'lmil,  called  the  Tucke  fi\t 
Innik  ;  hut  on  the  east  sid'-,  by  ll'alir  krij,  it  is  soft  ground.  Foryour  better 
direction  to  avoid  running  a-^round  on  wither  side,  keep  on  to  the  northward, 
as  before,  until  you  see  Scr/i-'iiif'it  ki'u,  tlie  imrih  part  opening  with  the  north 
part  of  ^F«/(r/ri/;  thenjou  will  l.t- in  what  is  called  the  Blue  h()ij,\\\\v re,  ui 
a  small  sp.nce  all  round  yon,  you  will  scarcely  aet  bottom  with  'JO  fathoms 
line ;  when  you  are  thus  in  the  liluc  liofc,  run  W.  by  N.  and  \V.  till  you  opru 
doi/gh'skci/,  the  half  out  open  vviih  the  S(;uth  end  of  IJ'atcr  kei/  ;  keep  it  so 
until  you  get  over  a  bank  whiJi  runs  (p.iite  aersss  ;  tlic  best  water  yoii  can 
carry  through  is  IH,  13.^,  and  M  leet  water;  there  is  no  dan.jcr  should  you 
ground  on  it,  andil  is  oidy  a  north  wind  that  should  make  yen  une.i';y. 

from  tills  bank  to  the  mouth  of  iUicr  KaWr,  the  cour>e  is  N.W.  northerly ; 
you  will  have  on  your  starboard  hand  the  range  of  Druzi-ned  kti/s,  on  which 
side  t!ie  Stake  hunk,  (part  of  which  may  be  seen,)  lies  more  than  half  way  to  the 
liver's  mouth  ;  it  is  bad  anchoring  near  this  bank,  though  you  may  have  (i 
f.uhoins  water.  On  your  larboard  hand  you  wi! I  descry  a  cluster  of  keys  call- 
ed the  Triangles;  ai>fl  within  a  league  of  the  riv:u''s  mouth,  due  south  lron»  it, 
\<  a  small  I'ank,  called  the  Middle  [ground  ;  to  the  nortii  wa-:' ,  f  which  youmay 
go  in  14  feet  water,  and  to  the  southward  i>f  it,  in  from  3  •■  '■  "■  fathoms.  Them 
is  but  7  feet  wafer  on  some  parts  of  this  shoal ;  the  l>e3t  pli  e  for  anchoring 
is  right  off  the  river's  mouth.  Loth  for  the  facility  of  coming  .m  board,  and 
going  on  shore,  and  for  having  the  advanti.geof  the  craits  which  comedown 
the  river;  here  you  lie  in  ififeet  water,  and  may  remove  irt  moderate  weather 
into  a  deeper  birth. 

The  River's  movtfi,  from  the  Crnns  lank  in  the  7?/(/c  Ao/c,  is  between  4  and  5 
leagues  broad,  it  lies  near  the  north  point  of  the  main  hind  a-liead  of  vou,  by 
llie  course  prescribed  ;  it  is  rarely  wiiiiout  some  v{.'s>,els  at  an  anchor ;  but  if 
Vfju  are  at  a  loss  for  the  ojienin/  of  the  river's  moutli,  and  clioese  the  vessels 
ior  your  guidance,  rather  steer  ior  them  to  the  norlhward  tli.in  to  the  south-

Front  Cape  Codera  to  Cape  Blanco — Jasi)er  Bay. 

IF  you  come  out  from  C(//*fCo^^rff,  and  arc  IkmiikI  to  Hie  westwanl, 
you  iniiy  stroke  tlio  cape  as  cJose  on  board  as  you  please,  as  it  is  steep  to  ; 
there  is  a  small  sandy  bay  on  the  west  side  ol  the  cape,  and  close  to  ir,  where- 
in you  may  anchor  in  what  depth  you  Hud  convenient :  this  bay  has  noliuns 
remarkable.  'I'iic  anchoring;  is  <^jod,  as  we  have  already  observed,  but  no 
fresh  water. 

When  30U  come  round  C»]w  Codrrn,  if  it  is  day  time,  you  will  see  the 
mile  rock,  «hifli  bears  p-om  the  cape  N.  by  W,  di^lant  6'  miles,  and  Crom 
Chu,sp,i  bail  N.i:.  by  K.  8  orj)  miles.  It  is  about  aslar^eas  the  hull  of  a  first 
rale,  and  almost  as  white  as  Beitcliy  head ;  you  liave  all  clean  ground  about 
ir,  but  un  tho  west  end  there  is  a  small  ledge  of  a  quarter  of  a  mile  Iruiu  the 
lock. 

llavinij  rounded  Cape  Cixhra  you  will  see  a  low  point  to  the  south-west- 
ward, about  7  miles  ;  it  is  the  first  you  come  to  ;  you  may  run  dnwn  to  it 
within  half  a  nnle  of  the  shore  ;  then  a  line  sandy  bay  opens  to  the  wc-twanl, 
into  which  you  may  haul  round  the  point,  and  giving  it  a  birth  of  a  quarter 
of  a  mile.  This  bay  is  called  by  the  Spaniards  Cliuspa  bmj,  but  th(>  English 
have  named  it  Jasper  hai/  ;  you  may  anchor  there  within  less  than  half  a  mile 
of  the  shore,  in  7  fathoms  water. 

When  you  have  run  into  7  fathoms  water,  you  will  brinj;  the  cast  part  of 
the  bay,  that  is  the  point  nmnd  which  you  came,  to  bear  N.K.  and  in  the 
S.K,  Corner  of  the  bay  you  will  get  fine  fresh  water,  and  good  wood.  There 
is  always  a  little  swell  in  the  bay  ;  when  y""  are  at  aixdior  you  will  perceive 
a  small  point  about  a  mile  to  the  westward  of  you,  ami  close  rounil  th;il 
))oint  there  is  a  small  town ;  but  the  landmi;  here  is  very  bad,  on  acciMint  of 
the  great  surf  on  the  beach.  The  land  to  the  westward  trends  to  tiie  W.  by  S. 
and  is  very  hii^h,  both  inland  and  near  the  coast ;  vl;/  litlle  is  to  be  had  here 
but  wood  and  water. 

From  Jasper  tmi/  to  Cape  Blanco,  the  course  is  W.  by  S.  13  leaq-ics,  and  to 
La  Giiai/ra  VV.  by  S.  lO  lea  ^ues.  La  Giiajra  is  in  a  small  bay,  al)out  3  or  4 
leagues  to  the  windward,  or  to  the  eastward  of  Cape  Blanco.  There  is  a  pro- 
iligious  high  mountain  aback  of  La  Giitii/ra,  which  is  almost  as  high  as  that 
ot  'I'cneriffe  ;  it  is  called  the  mountain  of  Caraccas.  Cape  Bl-inco  is  low 
land,  so  that  wiien  you  are  4  leagues  off  you  cannot  possibly  see  it  on  account 
of  that  mountain.  Being  off  Cape  Blanco,  within  a  league  or  two  of  tin 
land,  you  may  see  the  fort,  batteries,  and  town  of  La  Giiai/ra,  which  appea; 
ot  a  whitish  grey,  while  the  soil  about  the  town  looks  red.  When  you  ait 
within  4  or  5  miles  from  CVi^c  Blancj,  it  looks  like  a  town  under  the  high 
land,  and  has  a  grey  and  ragged  appearuncc  ;  the  shore  is  clear  and  bold  all 
along.     Cape  Blanco  lies  in  lat.  10",  50'  uud  Cape  Codera  in  lat.  10-.  57".

winds,  but  from  N.N.VV.  to  N.N.E.  which  winds  stddom  blow  here  ;  you 
have  a  regular  sea  breeze  all  day,  and  a  tine  land  breeze  ail  nis/ht.  with  plenty

many  planters,  and  other  people  live  in  the  neii;hbouriiood,  who  have  ubund-

by  compass,  (there  is  half  a  point  of  variai'ion  here)  is  seldom  without  one  or 
more  Dutch  vessels  trading  for  cocoa;  the  Inml  is  very  hi.'h.  on  b.nh  sides

Description  of  the  Islands  of  Bonair  and  Cura.ssoa. 

IF  you  come  from  the  main,  and  arc  bound  to  Cttrassoa,  I  would  advisi 
you  to  endeavour  to  make  the  island  of  Uonair,  and  then  to  run  down  to  Cur" 
assoa  :  bat  be  sure  not  to  come  within  4  or  5  miles  of  the  south  side  of  thtf 
island,  by  reason  of  tlie  rocks  and  foul  ground,  unless  you  are  acquninteiU 
There  is  a  road  on  the  west  side  of  the  island,  which  lies  within  a  small  islot, 
but  it  is  a  little  difficult  for  strangers.  Bonair  has  a  governor :  some  few  })eo- 
plc  from  CurasioaMvc  there,  and  a  great  many  Indhinsj  there  is  likewise  ser- 
eral  waieiiouses,  where  (he  Curassoa  sloops  load  the  cocoa,  hides,  tobacco,  &c. 
that  arc  fetched  from  the  Main;  these  goods  are  lodged  here  until  they  have  s 
goofl  market  for  them  at  Curassoa.  The  island  of  Bonair  yields  nothing  bu« 
wood  and  salt,  and  has  no  fresh  water  ;  the  west  part  is  pretty  high, and  very 
rugged  uneven  land.  From  the  west  end  of  it  you  may  sec  the  island  of 
Curassoa,  in  fair  weather,  which  bears  W.S.W.  distant  15  leagues. 

When  bound  to  Curassoa  you  are  to  run  down  so  as  to  come  along  the 
louth  side  of  it;  if  in  the  night,  come  not  nearer  the  island  than  3  leagues 
on  account  of  Little  Curassoa  ;  it  is  a  low  sandy  island,  very  little  above  wa- 
ter, one  fourth  of  a  mile  in  length,  with  nothing  but  prickly  bushes  on  it,  so 
that  you  cannot  possibly  see  it  in  the  night  ;  it  lies  S.K.  from  the  e-ast  point 
o(  Curassoa,  <listant  2  leagues,  and  is  htcep  to  on  every  side. 

Curassoa  is  a  low  island  ;  the  east  side  having  no  high  land,  except  a  moun- 
tain in  the  N.E.  part,  and  another  cf  srcat  height,  which  makes  like  atat>l«

land  in  tlit-  S.E.  part ;  on  the  west  side  tlicrc  are  somr  h\<^\  hills  ;  hut  all 
thf  rest  of  tlie  i.Iiind  is  iowiT  than  Tlarlmdoi").  The  tabic  liind  on  the  S.K- 
part  bears  W.N.W.  from  I.ittlc  Ommoa,  distant  7  "r  -S  iniles.  Yoii  must. 
j^ivu  tlie  east  poi?it  of  Curassoa  a  hirtii  of  half  a  mile,  and  tluii  you  may  keep 
asni?h  tiu;  island  as  you  l)lea^e,  fur  it  issteej)  to  all  along  tlie  soutli  side. 

The  haven  or  liarhour,  called  also  Amsterdam,  or  St.  A-iin,  is  on  the  S.W, 
jiart  of  the  island  ;  there  iu  a  whiu;  buoy  on  a  ledge  that  lies  on  the  star- 
boai<l,  or  south  side  of  the  hiirhoiu's  mouth;  that  buoy  you  must  leave  on 
your  starboard  hand  in  going  in,  and  haul  clos^e  round  it  into  the  harbour, 
wliosc  cntiaure  is  very  narrow,  and  steep  to  on  both  sides.  You  must  n(.t  let 
go  an  unolmr  isi  goiii:;in,  but  you  are  to  have  a  hawser  in  your  boat,  ready 
to  run  to  the  south  shore,  or  to  some  of  thes-hips  ;  for  although  the  harbour's 
ciitiauce  is  nut  broader  than  the  length  of  a  70  gun  ship,  yet  there  are  6'0 
liiihonis  water  ;  but  if  the  wind  is  large  it  is  better  to  run  up  above  the  town, 
and  above  the.shi|ipin;r,  then  you  may  let  go  your  anchor;  it  is  there  t.onio- 
lliiiii;  broader,  aiKl  clear  of  crafr. 

The  town  bes  on  the  south  side,  and  is  called  Amsterdum  ;  but  there  are  ft 
grc:it  many  buildings  on  the  north  side,  as  well  as  all  over  the  island,  -which 
is  pDjiulous.  This  is  a  veiy  good  harbour  to  heave  down  in,  as  there  is  iieithcv 
sea  iior  swell.  All  manner  of  provisions  are  prodigiovisly  scarce  and  dear 
here  ;  for  the  island  itself  produces  very  little  of  any  kind  of  necessaries. 
On  the  N.  W.  and  N.  sides,  the  island  is  foul  a  little  way  oil",  so  that  it  is  bt^t 
to  be  on  the  south  side,  for  this  is  all  bold  and  clear.  There  is  a  fine  cove 
about  4  or  5  miles  to  the  southward  of  the  harbour,  called  by  the  Dutch 
Spanish  Cove,  but  in  the  draughts  Suint  Barber,  and  a  large  f«rt  stands  at  the 
entrance  of  it. 

The  N.  end  of  Ctnassoa  lies  in  12o  25'  lat.  N.  and  long.  69°  7'  W.  of  Lon- 
don, and  the  west  end  of  Doiiair,  inlutitude  12°  27'  north.  If  you  are  bound 
to  windward,  I  would  advise  you  to  beat  up  the  S.  side  of  the  island, 
and  work  up  under  the  west  end  of  Boiiair  before  you  reach  over,  for  you 
have  at  most  times  a  counter-cunx'iit,  which  runs  to  windward,  and  the  west 
eiid  of  Boiiair  is  dear  and  bold  to ;  there  is  a  smaM  sandy  bay  on  the  W.N.W. 
part  of  the  island,  where  you  may  anchor  within  J  a  mile  of  the  shore  ;  but 
don't  come  within  two  leagues  of  the  south  side  of  the  island,  for  there  low 
sail  ly  keys  lie  a  lonjj  w«y  off,  as  well  as  some  rocky  rccft.

AT  the  entrance  of  the  harbour  there  arc  two  small  islands,  which  lie 
S.  by  E..j  E.  and  N.  by  W.  %  W,  from  each  other ;  between  them  you  sail,  or 
warp  in,  and  have  15  or  I6'  fathoms  across,  all  soit  ground.  Due  west  from 
the  northernmost  island,  anil  about  3  cables  length  from  if,  lies  a  bunch  of 
rocks,  called  Tlte  Salmetli/uis  ;  you  have  20  fathoms,  soft  ground,  between 
these  rocks  and  the  island.  You  may  go  in  and  out  on  either  side  of  them, 
they  being  steep  to  all  round,  and  aUvays  shewing  themselves. 

The  north  side  of  fh'  harbour  is  steep  to  ;  on  the  south  side  there  is  a  reef 
along  it,  about  a  cable's  length  from  the  shore.    . 

You  may  anchor  «Hy  where,  taking  t-are  sot  to  go  too  high  up  in  the  cod 
<if  the  bay.  '■ «.  i^  ,,  . 

Wood  and  water  are  in  great  plenty  here  ;  ydo  may  either  land  your  casks 
and  roll  them  about  10  or  12  yards,  or  (ill  your  boat  with  snmllcask?.  Cat-

to  be  procured,  but  you  have  plenty  of  fish  and  turtle  in  the  seasou. 

To  the  northward  and  southward  of  this  harbour  there  are  very  good  bays, 
with  many  fresh  water  rivulets,  where  any  fleet  may  ride  and  fill  in  safety  ;

,1;         Remarks  for  sailing  into  the  River  Demarari. 

AT  the  eiitriince  of  the  Jiiifr  Dtmarari,  an  E.N.E.  and  W.S.W.  ipoon 
flakes  lull  sea,  and  the  water  at  tlie  liighest  spring  tide  docs  not  rite  more 
than  8  or  9  Icot  perpendicular.  From  each  point  of  the  river  runs  off  a  flat 
"piiid  bank,  at  least  ihrte  leagues  into  the  sea,  on  many  parts  of  which  there 
is  not  nioio  than  frura  8  to  12  feet  water,  at  high  water.  Between  these 
banks  lie  the  onti  jnce  and  bar  of  the  river,  on  which  at  the  highest  spring 
tides,  there  is  not  more  than  20  feet  water,  but  all  very  soft  ground.  If  the 
wind  hliould  cast  out,  be  very  cautious,  and  not  stand  too  near  the  west  bank, 
ps  tii(»  flood  lide  sets  on  it  in  an  oblique  direction,  and  the  ground  in  some 
parts  is  hard  sand  ;  but  you  may  borrow  on  the  east  bank  at  pleasure,  be- 
ing ull  solt  mud,  and  you  receive  no  hurt  by  touching  the  ground. 

About  6  miles  up  on  the  west  side  of  the  river,  stands  a  remarkable  lofty 
tree  by  itself,  the  blanches  of  which  appear  to  be  withered,  and  3  or  4  miles 
above  that,   there  is  a  tuft  of  trees  or  bush  which  is  very  remarkable. 

In  running  into  the  river,  the  leading  mark  is  to  keep  the  withered  tree  on 
the  westernniost  part  of  the  tuft  or  bush,  which  will  carry  you  in  the  best 
water,  and  about  mid-channel,  steering  at  the  same  time  S.  by  \V.  by  com- 
j)u»h.  'I'hc  breadth  of  the  channel  going  in,  is  about  2  miles  ;  shoalinggrad- 
Uiilly  on  each  side.  The  best  anchoring  ground  is  within  the  cast  point,  in 
4  lathoiDs  at  low  water,  soft  mud  ;  keep  the  eastern  shore  on  board,  the  wes- 
tern side  being  flat  and  shoal.  It  is  necessary  to  weigh  the  anchors  once 
every  ten  days,  or  they  will  bury  so  much  as  to  be  supposed  to  be   lost. 

N.  H.  The  thwart  mark  to  know  when  you  are  without  the  bar,  is  when 
Point  Spiiit  comes  open  to  the  northward  oiCorrobana  Point,  and  you  have 
4  fathoms  water.  .     ,,  .  y. 

Observations  and  Remarks  on  the  Coast  of  Guayana. 

SHIPS  bound  from  the  Leeward  or  Carribee  Inlands  to  the  Coast  of 
puoyaiKK,  >houl(l  steer  as  far  to  the  eastward  as  S.li.  if  the  wind  will  permit, 
on  recount  cf  a  strong  indraught  or  current,  setting  at  all  times  of  the  year, 
Id  ihiMvtistward  through  the  Gulf  of  Paria.  The  moment  you  come  on  the 
putward  edge  of  the  ground,  you  will  perceive  the  colour  of  the  water  change 
lo  a  ij>:ht  green,  and  will  have  from  35  to  45  fathoms.  If  in  that  depth  you 
i.li(  uld  he  so  far  to  the  southward  as  7'  25'  or  7"  30'  N.  lat.  you  may  steer 
in  .S.'»V.  and  make  the  land  ;  but  if  more  to  the  northward,  keep  your  wind 
tiil  you  attain  that  lat.  You  will  have  very  gradual  soundings  quite  to  the 
f  linre,  but  very  shallow  ;  you  will  be  in  9  fathoms  when  you  Hrst  get  sight  of 
the  land  about  Diwcniri,  but  you  may  run  in  without  fear  in  4  fathoms,  be- 
ing attentive  lo  your  lead.  As  it  is  the  general  opinion  that  there  arc  many 
«ne.\pl(;re(l  sandbanks  on  this  coast,  a  groat  attention  tp  the  lead,  and  qual- 
ity of  the  ground  will  be  necessary,  as  by  that  only  you  will  be  apprized  of 
the  danger,  for  on  most  parts  of  this  coast,  to  the  eastward  of  the  river  Ori- 
>'r;^o,  the  bottom  is  very  soft  mud  ;  if  on  a  sudden  you  find  hard  sandy 
grcnmd,  1  o  assured  some  danger  is  near,  and  immediately  haul  ott,  till  you 
,i^ain  find  faoft  ground  as  beforp. 

The  making  of  the  land  all  the  way  from  Oriiwko,  as  far  to  the  eastward 
as  L'ai)cnnc,  is  very  low  and  woody,  and  therefore  appears  in  all  parts  so  much 
H|jke,  that  the  most  experienced  pilots  are  frequently  deceived.     Your  chief

tlcpendcncc,  therefore,  is  in  a  true  altitude  ;  if  that,  by  reason  of  thick  weath- 
er, cannot  be  obtained,  it  will  be  advisable  to  anchor  in  about  six  fathoms, 
which  you  may  do  with  great  safety,  having  good  ground,  and  in  general 
moderate  gales  and  smooth  water. 

The  making  of  ilic  lund  about  Demarari,  is  the  most  remarkable  of  any 
part  of  the  coast ;  the  woods  in  many  places  being  burnt  down  and  cleared 
lor  cultivation,  makes  the  land  apjK'ar  in  liiisc  gaps,  where  the  houses,  &c. 
are  plainly  to  be  seen,  and  if  there  any  ships  lying  .it  the  lower  part  of  the 
river,  their  mast  heads  may  be  plainly  seen  above  the  trees,  at  some  dis- 
tance at  seii.  ■ 

If  bound  into  Dancrnri,  you  must  run  to  the  westward  till  you  bring  the 
entrance  of  the  river  S.S.W.  or  S.  by  W.  and  either  lay  to  or  anchor  for  the 
tide,  in  4  fathoms  water ;  but  be  very  cautious  not  to  be  hauled  further  to 
the  westward  than  these  bearings,  for  the  Hood  runs  very  strong  into  the  riv- 
er Isequibo,  at  the  mouth  of  which,  and  at  a  great  distance  from  the  land, 
lie  many  very  dangerous  sand  banks,  on  some  of  whicii  there  is  not  more  than 
9  or  10  feet  water,  and  the  flood  tide  sets  right  on  them. 

On  many  parts  of  this  coast,  ])articularly  otf  Point  Spirit,  to  the  eastward 
o(  Demrrdri,  the  flood  tide  sets  right  on  the  shore,  and  the  ebb  right  oft"  t<t 
the  N.E.  It  will  be  advisable,  when  calm,  and  near  the  land,  to  anchor  in 
time. 

In  the  month  of  Deccmljcr  there  is  at  times,  particularly  in  shoal  water, 
on  the  coming  in  of  the  flood,  a  great  sea,  called  the  lio1!.,s,  and  by  the  In- 
dians Paroroca  ;  it  is  often  fatal  to  vessels  at  anchor:

Instructionsfor  sailing  along  the   Coasts,    and  into   the 
Harbours  o/*  Jamaica,  Port  Royal,  and  its  Channels. 

BEING  of!  Movant  Point,  or  the  east  end  of /am«ifa,  and  bound  to  Port 
Jloijal,  you  aie  to  steer  down  3  or  4  miles  otf  shore,  until  past  Morant  bay  ; 
as  the  coast  from  the  east  end  to  the  southward  of  Rocky  Point,  is  lined  with 
a  leef  that  stretches  2  miles  at  sea,  and  part  of  which  reef  generally  breaks. 

From  Rocky  Point  to  the  westward,  the  coast  continues  rocky,  about  one 
mile  from  the  shore,  as  far  as  Morant  bay  ;  then  it  is  clear  till  you  come  t6 
the  white  cliffs,  called  the  White  Horses,  of  which  there  are  some  rocks  about 
lialf  a  mile  from  the  shore. 

Fioin  the  Jl'/iite  Horses  to  YaUah's  Point,  the  distance  is  about  13  miles ; 
in  running  it  down,  when  the  former  bears  north,  and  Yallafi's  Point  west, 
you  will  have  soundings,  and  frequently  see  the  bottom  in  7  J,  8,  9,  and  10 
lathoms  ;  and  as  you  approach  YaUah's  Point,  the  water  deepens  till  you 
lo!>e  soundings. 

From  YaUah's  Point  to  Coxo  Bay  Point,  there  is  no  danger  ;  this  P«>int  is 
low,  but  bold  to,  as  well  as  all  the  coast  to  the  westward  as  far  as  Phnnb 
Point.  The  course  between  the  two  Points  is  \V.  by  N.  8  miles ;  but  if  you 
arc  3  or  4  miles  from  Com  Bay  Point,  you  must  steer  more  to  the  northward. 

Plumb  Point  is  the  south  east  point  of  the  Pallissadoes  ;  you  may  run  in 
boUllylbr  it,  and  approach  its  extremity  within  half  a  cal-ie's  leiiirth,  having 
noihing  to  fear  till  you  are  abreast  of  it,  and  oft'  the  Middle  Ground.  Be- 
tween this  and  Plumb  Point  is  the  entrance  of  the  Eastern  Channel  into  Port 
Royal.  When  you  brin^  JiocA  Joc/N.  by  F,.  or  N.  N.  K.  you  will  come 
over  a  Cross  /(v/^c,  just  iis  you  are  out,  and  in  with  the  leading  mark,  which 
is  the  magazine  on  the  highest  part  of  Saltpond  Hill,  or  on  the  Nab  and  flag

f  onnliii5  from  tlip  westward,  tliis  Middle  Ground  is  cnlh-d  the  Wesftrn  Ground, 
The  am  hora^jc  is  i;oud  nil  over  Porl-Hoj/nl  tmrhonr  ;  but  the  best  anchor- 
in:;  lor  shi|)»  that  are  rxiund  to  sen,  is  in  9  lathonr',  with  a  notcii  on  liie  cii^l 
^ide  of  a  hijih  mountain,  called  the  Lriidinsr  nolcli,  a  liille  open  to  the  east- 
'vard  of  Port  Auf^usta  and  llark/itim  Krj/,  in  tJiie  with  Port- iioi/al  point. 

To  go  to  sea  Iroiii  Porf-Hoi//il,  you  make  use  of  the  Sout/i,  «i-  ihe  AVw^ 
i'liiinnrl ;  the  small  cruft  generally  j{o  through  ihe  Pirsf  c/iannil,  but  it  is  to 
he  avoided  by  large  vessels,  except  they  are  prime  sailors,  and  have  a  stii)n;» 
land  bree/e  or  iwrth,  with  an  appearance  of  its  lasliug  long  en«)n;^h  to  tany 
tliem  ihroujih. 

W'lun  you  are  bound  through  the  Sotitli  c/innnrl,  you  rhoutd  get  under 
wi'igh  with  the  land  wind,  as  soon  in  the  miirnin2;  as  you  can  see  iho  marks, 
observing  that  the  current  then  sels  iiioai  coinmonly  to  tliewestwaid.  'il.it 
great  leading  mark  is  the  Lctidin'^  iiofcli  in  one  with  the  maga/ine  nl  Port  Au- 
;:iiit(i,  which  is  the  easternmost  building  of  the  fort.  This  carries  sou  clear 
through  in  10' or  17  leet  water.  'I'o  keep  well  to  the  westward  of  tlic  )liddle 
Ground,  be  careful  not  to  bring  the  church  steeple  ujion  t!ie  corner  o|'  tii« 
wall  with  cmbrazures,  until  l'«//^A'«  A/// is  brought  in  one  with  Li/ncKri/.  In 
case  you  should  not  set-  iullali's  hill  point,  look  for  ii  UiimmtHk  on  HvllJiirc^ 
and  when  it  is  o])en  of  Salt  Pan  hill,  you  are  to  t!ie  southward  of  li.e  Mid- 
dir  Ground,  which,  as  we  heretofore  observed,  is  here  called  the  Western 
Ground. 

The  Middle  Ground  is  a  large  coral  hank,  which  often  breaks  with  only  S 
feet  on  it  in  the  middle;  the  north  and  west  sides  are  almost  steep.  On  it» 
N.  \V.  edge  lies  a  buoy,  whose  marks  are  Port  lioi/al  tower,  on  tlie  4th  eiii- 
bra/ure  of  Port  C/iarla,  counting  from  the  westwuiil,  and  Ilelh/iirc  hummock 
on  llie  Hag  slati'of  Port  Small. 

When  you  have  opened  Helhhire  hummock  with  Fort  Small,  you  steer  out 
with  the  Leading  notch,  a  little  to  the  eastward  of  the  magazine,  which  car- 
ries you  between  the  Drunken  Man's  Key,  the  'I'urtle  heads,  and  the  South 
Knoul,  or  to  avoid  these  heads,  you  are  to  haul  up  so  as  to  bring  the  church 
Pleeple  to  the  easternmost  part  of  tlie  fort,  and  continue  to  keep  thai  iiiink 
until  the  South  Key  is  brought  on  with  Yulluh'n  point.  Then  you  may  haul  to 
tlie  H^^lwal(l,  if  the  wind  will  permit.  Hut  if  you  should  not  keep  up  the 
leading  mark,  and  the  church  steeple  should  come  near  the  corner  of  the  fort, 
you  must  then  come  to,  or  tack  and  stand  in.  The  mark,  when  ashore  c.s 
ih«'  Turtle  heads,  unA  Three  fut/iom  Link,  is  the  church  steeple  on  the  niagr 
Rzineof  the  fort  and  Spani.sh  town  land  just  open. 

AVIiin  Maiden  Keij  is  open  a  ship's  length  to  the  southward  of  Drunken  Man'i 
Kei/,  you  are  then  to  the  southward  of  South  Knowls,  and  should  br'ng  the 
J.tadivs;  notch  in  a  line  with  the  magazine,  which  will  bring  you  clos-  to  the 
westward  of  the  I  tY//f  Portuguese,  in  8  or  9  ("alhoms  :  when  Yulluh's  hi.lccma 
(o  the  southward  of  South  Key,  you  are  then  dear  of  the  Portugu-:sc,  and 
may  haul  to  the  S.  K.  piving  South  Key  a  birth  of  about  a  mile. 

Drunken  Man's  Key  is  a  narrow  ledge  of  rocks  just  above  wale.,  covered 
with  some  loose  sand,  tliat  gives  it  the  appearance  of  a  sand  bunk.  To  th« 
southward  of  it,  about  h  mile,  there  is  a  shoal  which  breaks  with  strong  sea. 
breezes,  and  between  it'and  Drunken  Man's  A'ry  is  a  channel,  ha>ing  6  or  7 
t'lithoms  water. 

'I'hc  'Turtle  heads  are  three  dangerous  spots,  wiih  10  or  11  feet  water  oit 
tlieir  shoalest  part,  and  deep  water  close  to  them.  Tin  Soi.th  Knvxiln  to  t!:e 
S.  V).  of  these  heads,  are  two  small  patches  about  70  lathoms  a-uiuler,  with 
•2^  feet  water  on  them.  And  to  the  S.  I; y  W,  of  tla-e  lies  One  luih  reef,

it  is  tailed  the  H'arrwi's  hank,  Iroin  tlio  Englisli  ship  tiic  lyarrior  h.tving 
Joiit  lici-  rudder  there  in  178v.'. 

On  the  east  side  ot  the  south  channel,  the  Little  Portugiiete  is  the  south- 
CI  nmost  shoal;  it  has  from  2i  to  ;»6  feet  water,  and  in  ^uueial  a  great  swell. 

The  New  c/iannel  lies  to  the  eastward  of  the  Sout/i  ihnimel,  and  almost  par- 
allel to  it,  and  was  surveyed,  buoyed,  and  first  used  hy  order  o(  Admiral 
Ajflcck,  while  he  commanded  on  the  Jamaica  station ;  it  is  certainly  prefera- 
ble, on  many  accounts,  to  the  South  channtl ;  it  has  smooth  water  till  you 
conic  to  Houth  key,  with  good  onchoring  ground,  easy  riding,  and  a  facility 
of  going  to  sea  to  the  southward  with  the  sea  breeze,  as  tar  as  S.K.  &c. 

'•"he  leading  mark  to  enter  this  channel  is  a  remarkable  flat  hummock  on 
the  mountain  to  the  N.N.W.  of  I'urt  Royal ;  ^^licn  ihc  middle  of  this  hum- 
mock is  in  a  direct  line  with  the  IFhite  house,  standing  to  the  N.VV.  of  Fort 
Augusta,  it  leads  you  to  the  westward  of  the  harbour  and  hunt  Knotult,  as 
well  as  between  the  cast  edge  of  the  So«/4tAa/j«f/,M/fW/e  Ground,  and  the 
vie>,t  end  ui  Rackham'n  kty  a/ioal.  Vou  steer  with  these  marks  on  till  a  re- 
markable round  hillock  to  the  westward  of  Stony  hill  barracks,  comca  open 
to  the  eastward  of  Gun  key. 

Alter  you  have  opened  this  hummock,  you  steer  away  to  the  southward, 
keepingit  open  till  a  saddle  in  the  mountains  to  the  N.  W.  comes  in  a  line 
with  I'ort  Smalt.  Then  you  bring  the  same  hummock  on  the  centre  or  west 
edge  of  Gun  key,  which  marks  carry  you  to  the  westward  of  the  shoals  on 
the  east  side  of  the  channel,  and  about  4  mile  to  the  eastward  of  the  Great 
Portuguese,  and  as  soon  as  I'urtland  appears  like  an  island,  you  may  then 
haul  to  the  eastward,  being  clear  of  the  reef  and  shoals  of  South  key. 

The  shoals  in  this  channel  are — 

I.  The  South  channel  Middle  ground,  (on  the  east  side  of  which  there  is  a 
IntoyJ  and  the  small  shoals  to  the  southward  of  this  ground. 

II.  The  Great  bay  nhoal,  which  has  iti  feet  least  water,  and  a  floating 
beacon  in  IS  feet. 

III.  The  Four  fathom  knoul,  a  very  small  spot,  with  no  less  than  24  feet 
water  on  it,  and  deep  water  all  round.  Ships  of  20  feet  draught  may  sail 
over  it,  as  the  water  is  smooth. 

Between  Great  l>ay  shoal  and  South  key  breakers,  there  are  two  shoals ;  tho 
northernmost  about  ^  mile  S.  by  \V.  from  the  former  is  steep,  and  a  small 
part  of  it  appears  just  above  the  surface  of  the  water.  This  shoal  almost  al- 
¥fays  shews  itself  by  the  ri|)pling  on  it.  About  half  way  between  this  and 
the  breakers  lies  the  second  shoal,  having  only  16"  feet  water. 

The  South  key  breakers  have  a  buoy  upon  them.  The  marks  for  the  west 
edge  of  this  reef  is  the  Leading  notch  open  a  little  to  the  eastward  of  ihe  Cap- 
stan house,  and  a  saddle  mountain  to  the  north-west,  and  Fort  Small  in  one. 

Half  a  mile  to  the  southward  of  thtse  breakers  is  tlie  Eighteen  feet  rief 
temarkable  by  the  great  swell  upon  it.  To  the  westward  of  that  reef  lies  the 
Great  Portuguese,  which  is  the  southernmost  shoal  on  the  west  side  of  the 
channel. 

When  you  come  from  Port  Royal  to  Portland,  being  clear  of  the  South 
or  NcK  channels,  the  course  is  S.VV.  distance  10  leagues ;  but  you  must  keep 
farther  to  avoid  ilocn  rcrf  and  the  key.  There  are  soundings  so  lar  out  as  to 
bring  the  easlerninost  land  of  lldUhire  to  bear  N.  by  E.  and  Rocky  point,  or 
the  southernmost  land  of  i'w7/ri«(/  N.  W.  by  N.  At  the  same  bearings 
loundiiigs  have  been  lound  from  17  to  23  fathoms,  And  the  next  cast  n«i 
gioumi  uith  80  fathoms  lino,  though  not  a  ship's  length  between  the  Hist  and 
the  last,  LjK.n  this  flat  are  several  keys,  two  of  which  bear  Irom  Portland 
t.  distance  two  or  three  miles,  and  Negro  head  rock,  with  ihe  other  keys,  U»

and  \V.  18°  N.  true  north,  disrant  lo!  iea^'ues. 

All  this  coast  is  sale,  and  may  b:-  ranged  very  near  :  thc-e  is  anr  hora^c, 
even  tor  latfte  !.liips,  at  Iia>e  hag,  and  at  I'ort  I'ininit,  but  it  «iui;ht  to  beus'ed 
only  in  case  of  necessity.  In  liie  winter  months  there  are  j^ales  of  wind  al- 
most every  niij;lit,comiiii;  from  the  S.K.  some  of  which  are  violent  ;  and  with- 
out you  have  business  on  this  part  of  the  coast,  it  is  best  to  stand  olV '2  or  3 
leagues,  so  that  you  may,  with  any  wind,  keep  to  the  westward. 

'I'lie  bay  of  Go;;«//c«Tf.v,  as  the  French  pronounce  it,  is  very  larpe  and  fine, 
the;  ancliora;{e  exceihilt,  and  the  entrance  very  easy.  You  ranL',e  nlonmhc 
ihore  half  aleaj^ne,  or  '2  miles  distance,  steeriii'i;  a  lew  <ies;r;:es  to  the  noiili- 
ward  of  east,  and  let  «n  your  anchor  in  6  or  10  fathoms,oo/e.  You  will  liml 
from  till- entiHiue  under  Go«i'///enc;'o/;//,  which  is  low,  and  one  mile  east 
of  Point  I'inrc,  15  and  I'i  fathoms  ;  the  water  decreases  as  \ou  f;<'t  into 
the  bay.  When  you  arc  a  good  half  league  from  the  land,  and  2  miles  from 
the  Dclniraitlaire,  (or  landiii;:;  place)  you  will  have  6  fathoms.  After  you 
have  doubled  iionahinc  point,  leaviiicr  it  on  your  larboard  hand,  you  willsec 
I'url  Custries  on  u  point  of  land  whicli  you  nmst  not  appn-ach  too  near,  as 
there  is  a  key  that  lies  about  a  mile  south  of  the  point. 

From  Point  III  Pierre  to  C(i/:e  St.  Marc  is  3  lea<;ues.  They  bear  fr(  m  cjich 
other  S.  by  \V.  and  N.  by  F,.  true  norlli,  which  is  likewise  thedirection  of  the 
coast. 

One  lens;uo  to  the  norlh  of  5/.  Marc  hay,  is  h  low  point,  which  appt  ars  at  a 
distance  like  an  island  ;  it  forms  a  cape  that  runs  out  a  mile  westward  of  the 
bearin;>s  above  given,  and  is  called  I.a  point  da  ninrne  ait  iHablc,  or  the  Di'vil'x 
hummock  point ;  it  shews  the  mouth  of  the  Hncr  Artilioiiilv,  whicli  tails  into 
the  s-a  3  miles  northward  of  the  point.  'I'here  is  an  anchorai^e  the  while 
lenj^lh  of  the  coast  for  small  vessels  only. 

Cape  St.  Marc  is  high,  and  of  a  round  form ;  you  descry  at  a  zreatdista  icc 
the  hillock  which  forms  it,  and  stands  only  one  mile  from  the  sea  side.  ;

that  name,  whose  anchorage  is  very  small,  and  not  proper  for  large  sliips  ; 
schooners  and  small  vess<-ls  may  anchor  within  the  reef,  but  no  slifp  wliicii 
<liaws  upwards^f  1'^  or  14  feet  should  ever  anchor  here,  except  in  ca>c  of  ne- 
ressity  ;  there  is  no  shelter  lor  her  ;  in  short  it  is  a  bad  anchorage,  and  which 
you  must  avoid  duiin!:  the  north  winds. 

Fiom  Salt  river  point  to  Cape  Dame  Maria,  ot  Donna  Maria,  the  coast  runs 
W.  by  S.  5"  S.  4i  leagues. 

All  this  slioie  is  safe  and  bold  within  .}  league  :  it  docs  iiol  prc:ont  any 
shelter,  thougli,  in  case  of  necessity,  you  might  anchor  in  Clair  bay,  whidi  is 
\\  league  from  Salt  river,  'i'his  ba)\  or  rather  cove,  is  so  very  small,  that 
two  ships,  100  feet  long,  would  be  pffzzled  to  swing  clear  of  each  other  ;  it 
can  only  serve  as  a  shelter  to  very  small  vessels,  and  is  easily  discovexed  by 
keeping  along  shore. 

As  soon  as  you  descry  Cape  Dame  Maria  by  the  false  cape  of  that  name, 
an  !  are  ^  league  distant  from  it,  you  will  strike  soundinss  from  15  to  18 
faihoms,  andyou  may  range  along  this  cape  at  4  league  di^stance,  in  from  8 
to  12  fathoms,  weedy  bottom. 

Should  you  want  to  anchor  in  Dawe  Maria  bay,  you  must  keep  the  shore 
on  board,  steering  about  ^.K.  the  winds  being  generally  agaifist,  and  with 
your  lead  you  come  to  an  anchor  W.  N.W.otf  a  large  white  tupiun,  or  liillock, 
on  which  stands  a  battery,  and  within  a  musket  shot  of  which  }i.u  will  tind  5 
hilhoms.  There  is  bottom  all  over  this  Lay  ;  a  mile  from  the  shore  you  will 
have  from  4  to  0  fatiicius,  a,.,j  at  tno  miles,  iiom  ()  to  10.  "\  ou  are  shel- 
tered trom  the  winds  bctwici  the  N.  ;,n(i  S.  jjassing  by  the  F,.  uotwithstand- 
i:ig  which,  ships  that  lie  in  S  or  10  falhpuis  will  feel  the  swell,  if  thiyc  is  a 
Jresh  breeze  without. 

From  Cape  Dame  Maria  the  c<'ast  runs  S.  by  W.  ^  W.  5  h  a;',ues  to  Poiui 
dis  Irois,  and  forms,  at  that  distance,  several  bays  riid  coves,  where  vcssets 
may  anchor.  In  general  along  this  c.,a-,t  a  frigate  mav  run  in  v\iiii  h.M-  lead, 
and  anchor  in  any  part,  there  being  no  'Iw.als,  nor  anV  dan.-er  undei'water,

At  some  <listaiicelroiii  it,  on  the  north  ^ide,  there  is  a  good  anchorage, 
frtim  ^b  to  30  lathoms. 

Frmn  the  Cni/c.s,  tl.e  coast  runs  a  league  I'.N.K.  as  far  as  the  Tapimit  or

halfway  between  is  the  Coniptiin/'s  isltiiiil,  where  you  anchor  if  you  do  not 
choopc  to  3,0  into  the  harbour  of  the  Cai/cs. 

You  must  not  go  too  close  to  the  S.C  part  of  the  Tapionn  of  CavaiUon,  as 
there  is  a  shonl  with  only  ft  feet  water  on  it,  called  La  Maufvii,  the  S/iccp  :  it

fatlioms  betv  een  it  and  the  shore. 

Cfliaj7/on  iffv  is  pi'ctty  lipacious,  though  the  anchorage  is  of  very  little  ex- 
tent ;  the  coast  on  the  west  is  too  sleep,  and  llie  bottom  full  of  rocks,  ^'oii 
must  come  to  an  ancher  on  the  east  side  of  the  bay,  opju'^itc  a  cousi  covered 
with  mangroves;  approach  it  wiliunit  fear,  the  bottom  bi'ing  clear;  ami  yon 
have  5  fathoms  close  to  the  shore.  In  this  bay  you  are  sheltered  Irom  the

a  si.iall  island,  called  /{«/  /<//,  between  which  and  Orange  /iry  ytn\  nuiy  pass, 
or  hi'twcen  liie  shore  and  botii  ;  but  thoi-e  passages  are  not  lar^e.  'I'hereare 
shoals  i;lf  tlie  shore,  whicji  makes  it  uccc.isary  to  keep  closer  to  the  two  island* 
than  the  shore. 

O'lc  lea^jjue  and  a  half  distant  E.  by  N.  of  Orange  Iry  is  Moiistiqiic  key  ; 
this  island  is  clear  of  shoals  except  very  close;  jon  may  pass  without  it  or 
witliin;  on  the  north  side  tif  it,  \  of  a  league  from  the  shore,  you  will  have

Vou  will  (ind  no  other  shoal  till  you  meet  the  Trompeu\e,  which  lies  4  miles

passage  l)etween  it  and  Mouxtiqiic  key,  by  which  you  go  into  the  Great  Lay 
uf  .•itiuiii.  South  of  Cayc  a  Uamiers  lies  a  shoal,  which  extends  half  a  league, 
and  has  only  3  fathims  in  the  middle.  East  of  the  same  key  is  a  small 
inland,  called  V.lnguille,  (the  Eel)  and  to  the  N.E.  is  another  called  La 
Reflate  ;  the  three  form  an  equilateral  triangle,  whose  sides  are  naarly  half 
a  league. 

To  the  E.N.E.  |  of  a  league  from  Caye  a  Ramiers,  is  the  great  key  of  A- 
gtiin,  which  is  an  island  of  a  tolerable  height,  upon  whicli  aretwo  white  hum-

great  depth  of  water  found  all  over  it,  and  its  beiii"  entirely  clear  of  shiials  ; 
you  are  here  very  little,  if  at  all  sheltert'd,  and  musr  anchor  on  t!;c  !uM;!isi,:c

The  coast  in  all  this  spate  forms  several  little  coves,  where  small  vesieis  may

West  of  V'uilc  island,  3\  leagues  distance,  lies  the  Mira-poi-  xos  ;  it  is  a 
flioal  not  unlike  the  llu!:i>tici  :  on  the  we»t  siile,  which  is  <lcar,  is  an  in- 
(lilforentaiK-hoiii'^e;  the  east  side  is  i)old,  and  on  the  south-east  side,  at  a  mile 
(li-tance,  you  will  Iki\c  tVoin  VO  to  C.)  lathoms,  coral  and  rocky  grouinl.  A* 
liiis  shoal  is  t«)  Ueward,  you<lo  not  oltinseeit  in  ranging  along  Crw/A  i.\i(i/>(l ; 
however,  il  it  was  necessary  to  turn,  you  mipht  approach  it  within  half  u 
Icaijne  :  all  the  dant'crous  parts  break,  and  tlie  white  gro'.ind  will  give  you 
notice  ol  it  in  ijood  time.  Vou  may,  if  you  choose,  pass  to  leeward  of  the 
shoal  ;  its  extent  east  and  west  is  about  2  miles,  ojid  north  and  suiitii  about 
C  K'asiics. 

When  you  are  east  and  west  of  Castk  islniul,  you  must  steer  N.  or  N.  by  W, 
7 J  lca;;ues,  to  make  the  west  end  oi  J'ortiniv  island,  Avithin  a  league  o*"  which 
you  come  in  with  this  course  and  distanc*' ;  y(.u  will  continue  in  thesamedi- 
r^ction  to  make  the  western  extreme  of  Cioiikrd  is/and,  otf  which  is  a  small 
island,  called  I'dSKage  i.sloi  (Bird  ruch)  ;  havini;  run  6  leagues,  you  will  bo 
I  \  league  west  of  this  isiot,  so  that  the  ilirect  course  from  Castle  iUund  to  the 
end  ol  the  passage  is  N,  6°  W.  14  leagues, 

When  you  are  c<une  to  this  place  you  suppose  yourself  out  of  the  passage ; 
nevertheless,  should  the  wind  happen  to  be  to  the  N.l-".  or  K.N.li. you  have  to 
four  U'utUng  island,  which  bears  from  Bird  island  N.  4°  W.  true  north,  2J 
leii2Ues  ;  therefore  to  avoid  il,  you  ouf;ht,  in  leaving  the  Passage,  to  keep  a* 
much  to  the  eastward  as  the  wind  will  permit  ;  should  the  wind  be  at  S.L. 
and  you  steer  at  N.  K.  you  would  make  Saniana  island  (Atuood's  keif)  so  that 
keeping  the  wind  when  you  are  out,  you  must  observe  not  to  steer  higher  to 
ilie  eastward  than  N.li.  nor  more  to  leeward  than  N.  by  V,.  i,o  N. 

The  islands  of  AcUin,  of  I'ortunv,  and  Croohfd,  are  united  fogelher  by  a 
v.'hite  ground,  which  surrnvinds  I'.'.ctn  entirely.  This  ground  does  not  extend

^liijis  ou^ht  never  to  venture  within  any  part  of  the  white  grounds,  where 
you  will  often  fall  from  li  fathoms  to  10  feet ;  if  by  accident  they  liml  thcm- 
s'.-lvcs  in  the  nru"'il«  of  them,  the  best  way  is  to  tack,  and  go  out  the  same  way 
they  came  in,  raiii-iiij;  alonu;  the  grouiuis.  .    i     . 

Siiould  you  l)v  any  circumstances  be  forced  to  go  from  Cape  Francois  Xhro 
the  p;i  .•■a'j;e  betweeu'the  Square  llamlkercliicf  and  the  Silver  keys,  you  must,  at 
the  depaHurc,  make  your  course  good  N.K.  by  K.  and  E.N.li.  If  the  winds 
suifer  you  to  steer  that  coui-sc,  you  would  pass  in  the  mid  channel ;  but  it 
vol  arc  forced  to  turn,  and  you  would  not  get  sight  of  the  St.  Domingo  shore, 
lifter  you  have  once  got  into  the  longitude  of  70"  15'  W.  from  London,  you 
must  not  pass  tlie  latitude  of '20O  25',  without  frequently  heaving  the  lead. 
If  you  come  as  far  as  20°  35,'  with.mt  getting  ground,  you  have  nothing  to 
fear  from  the  Sihir  keys,  and  must  only  look  out  for  the  Square  Itandkcrc/nef, 
which  is  not  dangerous  on  the  south,  the  bottom  giving  you  notice  m  10  and 
15  fathoms.  Vou  must  continue  to  get  to  the  eastward,  and  when  you  come 
in  the  latitude  of  '21«>  20',  you  are  entirely  out  of  the  passage. 

The  Sih-er  kei/  is  1 1  leagues  long,  E.  and  VV,  and  7*  leagues  broad,  N.aiid  S, 
in  the  greatest  dimension.     The  westernmost  part  lies  N.  and  S.  from  Old 

Cape  Francois.  i      i.     c  i-       j 

The  Square  Handkerchief  and  the  Silver  keys  bear  from  each  other  S.L.  and 
N.  \V.  The  chanucl  between  the  two  is  very  safe,  and  1 4  leagues  in  breadth. 
You  experience  on  the  edges  of  the  shoals  weak  currents,  which  generally 
follow  the  directions  of  those  edges.  On  the  Square  Handkerchief  they  ares 
scarcely  felt ;  on  the  S.E.  part  of  the  Silver  keys  you  find  them  setting  to  the 
W.  and  N.W.  but  a  short  league  from  the  ground,  their  effect  is  not  pcrceiv- 

lii  general,  you  ought  not  to  mind,  in  your  reckoning,  the  weak  currents 
which  exist  in"  these  passages,  they  being  no  where  to  be  feared. 


Observations  on  the  navigation  round  the  Cionave  Islands} 
and  in  the  Southern  Channel. 

THE  most  dangerous  reefs  arc  those  which  seem  to  be  Joined  with  the 
land  of  the  l.inle  Gonave,  and  arc  stretched  above  a  league  in  thcoffing ;  how- 
ever, they  lie  at  about  a  mile  from  the  shofti,  and  you  might  pass,  man  urg- 
ent case,  between  them  and  the  Little  Gonave,  even  with  a  ship  ;  but  the  at- 
IcmiU  would  be  imprudent,  if  you  are  not  forced  to  do  it,  and  have  not  the 
wind  well  set  in,  as  the  currents  are  very  strong  and  irregular,  though  they 
run  more  "enerally  to  N.N.E.  in  this  part,  and  between  the  two  Goiiaives. 

Small  vessels,  drawing  8  or  9  feet  water,  may  find  a  good  anchorage  to  th« 
west  of  the  Little  Gonave  ;  to  come  to  it  the  south  channel  is  Jar  preterabla 
to  that  of  the  north. 

The  N.E.  point  of  the  Gonave,  called  Galet  point,  is  low  and  bordered  with 
a  reef  which  stretches  along  the  cast  coast,  coming  from  the  south,  and  ex- 
tends a  little  more  than  U  mile  opposite  the  place  called  Troual'Eau,  or 
Water  hole  ;  within  is  a  white  ground,  where  you  find  Irom  4  to  6  iathoms 

To  sail  near  this  reef,  which  every  vessel  can  do,  that  draws  9  or  10  feet, 
you  must,  in  coming  from  the  east,  take  a  channel  which  is  opposite  a  fisher- 
man's hut.    There  are  several  other  chauuels,  which  are  easily  known  by  the

»in..l  vessHs  may  anchor  in  that  part,  on  the  spot  named  Les  R„kinc^,  or  the

\  II K  master  of  a  vpsjcI  is  the  legal  a^^rnt  or  ro|irospntntivo  of  liisowiicn, 
anil  Mihjit't  to  till-  siiiuo  ru!tsot"  lioncsty  nn(l<;co<l  tiiitli  with  f)tlu'r  a;.MMits.  In 
cases,  which  arc  not  iiicluilod  witliiu  his  usuiil  written  orders,  and  which  di- 
])end  upon  hi.ijndnincnt  alone,  he  is  to  act  as  il  the  jdopoity  cntrastcd  to  Inni 
were  his  own;  and  an  error  in  judgment  oiii'Jit  not  tosiif'joct  iiiiu  to  tlie  ill 
opinion  ol  his  employers  if  he  has  conducted  with  integrity;  especially  il  his 
t'luployers  hiul  pr«>i>cril)ed  to  him  in  writing  no  certain  line  of  duty. 

It  is  almost  the  invariable  practice,  however,  of  owners,  to  turnish  their 
masters  with  written  orders  or  instructions,  emhracing  the  piincipal  part  of 
iheir  duty  during  tiie  voyage.  It  is  «  xiremely  hazardous  lor  the  master  tii 
depart  from  these  instructions,  as  he  will  be  responsible  for  the  least  damage 
which  shall  accrue  from  a  wanton  aiid  unnecessary  deviation.  lie  should 
consult  them,  in  every  case  of  doubt  or  .lii'iiculty,  and  follow  them,  as  he  does 
his  compass,  with  the  most  exact  precision.  Many  permanent  duties,  how- 
ever, are  connected  with  the  situation  of  a  master,  which  he  must  always  per- 
form, but  which  are  never  specified  in  his  orders.  These  are  to  depend  on 
his  own  judgment  and  lidelity,  and  are,  in  all  cases,  of  the  utmost  impor- 
tance to  the  intcre!:ts  of  his  owner;. 

He  should  never  allempt  a  breach  of  embargoes,  blockades,  or  other  re- 
straints, being,  in  most  cases,  personally  responsible,  if  any  damage  should 
ensue. 

Pas'cngers  on  board  a  vessel  are  entitled  to  all  the  accommodations,  con- 
Teiiiences  and  attentions  from  the  master,  which  tl.o  nature  of  tlie  vessel  and 
voyage,  and  the  teinis  of  their  agreement  will  admit ;  and  tiie  master  is  liiibli; 
to  an  action  sliouhi  the  passengers  be  deprived  of  t!;e:n,  or  not  conveyed  tj 
the  poit  of  his  destination  according  t.)  his  contract. 

.V  inafcter  may  detain  the  baggage  or  goods  of  passengers  until  he  is  paid  the 
passag<'  moiity. 

I'nnecessaiy  deviations  ficnn  tl.o  direct  course  of  the  voyage  ought  never  to 
be  attempted.  Not  only  the  policies  on  both  vessel  aiid  cargo  are  by  this 
mean  vacated,  but  the  projicrty  subjected  to  other  risks  which  often  prove 
fatal.  L'navoi.Uble  necessity  alone  will  justify  a  deviation.  Touching  at 
piNCcs  to  which  ho  is  not  bound,  although  he  may  be  obliged  to  pass  by  them 
in  his  course,  is  u  deviation.  A  permission,  in  the  policy,  to  touch  and  stay, 
will  not  authorize  the  master  to  break  bulk  and  Irade. 

On  entering  ports,  or  navigating  tiiflicult  passages,  vvline  the  cu^toln  oftiic 
trade  has  stationed  pilots,  it  is  the  duty  of  the  inaster  to  take  one  on  board,  and 
by  no  means  to  proceed  without;  and  not  to  discluirge  his  pdot  except  at  the 
accustomed  places.  A  neglect  of  diis  part  of  his  duty  destroys  liie  policies  on 
vessel  and  cargo,  and  renders  both  master  and  owners  liable  to  tlie  assured. 

Port  laws  and  regulations  should  be  carefully  observed.  In  almo^t  every 
poit  there  are  certain  laws  for  the  goverimient  <d' the  shipping,  vvhicli  cannot 
le  uansgrensed  vvitii  im|um!ty.  A  master  should,  therelore,  iid'orni  himself  of 
these  on  his  lirst  arrival,  and  be  scrupulous  in  conforiuing  himself  to  them 
during  his  stay.  A\\  the  damage  which  ensues  in  consequence  of  a  breach  of 
them,  will  evenlually  lall  on  him. 

Port  dues  and  charges  are  payable  by  the  cafitain  ;  nnd  ids  vessel,  cables, 
ar.chcrs,  &c.  niay  be  distrainj;d,  not  only  till  these,  but  even  tdl  his  own  per- 
sonal debts  arc  paid, 

'1  he  owners  are  responsible  to  the  concerned  in  the  voyage  for,  the  miscon- 
(l\ict  of  their  mattery  but  the  master  is  ultimately  liable  to  Lis  imiucdiato

or  often  repeated,  to  justify  such  an  exeitioii  of  aulhonly  in  tlie  nnrser. 

A  seaman  may  likewise  he  discharged  when  inlected  wiih  any  c.ntiigious

When  a  vessel  is  driven  by  stress  of  weather  into  a  port,  (  (I.e.-  tlian  t!;ar  t  > 
which  she  is  bound,  and  the  caiijo,  if  of  a  perssliable  nature,  iie  inJMied,  iImj

pors  will,  for  the  most  |)nrt,  in  such  cases,  induce  him  immediatt 'y  to  sell  such

this,  he  should  he  reasonably  sure  of  the  acquiescence  of  the  owners,  shippers, 
and  I'reightcrs,  before  he  runs  the  hazard  of  a  sale, 

A  protest  should  be  made  by  the  master  in  every  case  of  accident  either  to 
vessel  or  cargo,  at  the  lirst  port  he  shall  put  into.  Kvery  occurrence  during 
the  voyage,  which  i^ay  operate  to  the  detriment  or  disadvaiitagc  of  any  of

The  laws  of  the  United  States  are  particularly  seveie  in  the  prohibition  of 
the  slave  trade.  By  an  act  of  Congress  it  is  provided,  that  no  cinzcn  or  citi-

Hegulation  of  the  Fisheries. 

BY  the  treaty  of  peace  with  Cfreat  Britain,  the  people  of  the  Uni;v,\'  "'  !'■  -i 
enjoy,  unmolested,  the  right  to  take  lish  on  theGrand  Bank. and  onall  the  >th  ,r 
banks  of  Newfoundland  ;  also,  in  the  Gulph  of  St.  Lawrence,  and  at  all  ottier 
places  in  the  sea,  where  the  inhabitants  of  both  countries  used  at  any  time 
heretofore,  to  fish;  and  the  inhabitants  of  the  United  States  have  liberty  to 
take  fish  of  cvry  kind  on  such  part  of  the  coast  of  Newfoundland  as  British 
fishermen  shall  use  (but  not  to  dry  or  cure  the  same  on  that  island)  and  also 
on  the  coasts,  bays  and  creeks  of  all  other  of  his  Britannic  INIajesty's  tloniin- 
ions  in  America;  and  the  American  fishermen  have  liljerty  to  dry  and  cure 
tish  in  any  ot  .he  unsettled  bays,  harbours  and  creeks  of  Nova  Scotia,  Magda- 
len islands,  and  Labrador,  whilst  unsettled  ;  but  as  soiui  as  settled,  it  shall 
not  be  lawful  for  American  fishermen  r.>  dry  or  cure  fish,  at  such  settlement, 
without  a  |)revious  a::reemcnt  for  that  purpose  with  the  inhabitants,  propri- 
etors or  possessors  of  the  ground. 

Pursuant  to  this  article  of  the  treaty  with  Great  Britain,  it  is  necessary,  in 
order  to  dry  and  cure  their  fish  in  the  British  s(  ttlements  of  Nova  Scotia,  the 
Magdalen  islands,  and  Labrador,  tiiat  American  fishermen  enter  into  an  a- 
grcement  with  the  inhabitants  of  such  settlements.  Such  agreements,  for  the 
security  of  the  fisiiermen,  shuuld  always  be  reduced  to  writing,  and  it  is 
strongly  recommended  to  those  who  are  employed  in  that  trade  to  secure  tlijs 
privilege,  when  they  wish  it,  in  such  a  manner  as  not  afterv.'ards  to  involves 
tiiemselves  in  dilliculties  and  embarrasincnts,  which  may  deprive  ihem  of  all 
the  profits  and  emoluments  of  their  voyage. 

No  ship  or  vessel  of  twenty  toiw  or  upwards,  employed  in  those  fisheries, 
shall  be  entitled  to  the  allowance  therein  granted,  unless  the  skipper  or  mas- 
ter thereof  shall,  before  he  proceeds  on  any  iisl.ing  voyage,  make  an  agreement, 
in  writing  or  in  print,  with  every  fishernum  employed  therein,  excepting  only 
any  apprentice  or  serva«it  of  himself  or  owner  ;  a;id  in  addition  to  such  terms 
of  shipment  as  may  be  agreed  on,  rl.all,  in  such  agiremeiit,  espress  w  (.other

relief  of  that  portion  of  citizens,  whose  profession  is  so  useful  to  a  commer- 
cial nation,  and  so  incident  to  the  calamities  of  climate  and  Weatiier.  Tim 
mariners  of  this  country  are  largely  indebted  to  the  humane  and  Ijenevolent 
spirit  of  its  jurisprudencf,  for  interposing  in  their  behalf  the  authority  oi  the 
nation,  and  reserving,  though  from  the  produce  of  their  own  labours,  a  luiid 
which  Mirll  all'urd  them  support  and  comiort  in  sickness  or  disticss.

^A  States,  for  the  support  aud  relief  of  poor,  sick,  aud  disabled  seamyu ;
